Can this be rescheduled

02/22/08 04:13 PM

I had a trial set for yesterday @ 10:00 am. I showed up with my attorney @ 9:00 am. We waited until 11:00 am for the other side. They did not show, nor did they contact the courts with a reason for their tardiness. The other parties secretary was there and could not provide a reason to why the attorney or anyone else did not show. The judge granted in my favor. My concern is I know the other attorney will file a motion to have this rescheduled. We checked the court documents to make sure that everyone was mailed the same papers for appearance time and date. Everything looked to be in order. My attorney claims that in civil matters it is unlikely that they will rescheudle unless there was a medical emergency. Any thoughts on this. Has anyone had this happen to them. I am very concerned that some how his attorney will find a loop hole to have our case resecheduled. From what I understand the only reason for the no show was due simply to error on their side for what time the case was to be heard. The error was not made by courts it was because the attorney's secretary messed up.
