Court proceedings can require significant time and resources, and attending every hearing is not always possible or necessary for the plaintiff. In such cases, the plaintiff can file an application requesting that the case be reviewed in their absence. If you wish to use this option, the Legal and Real Estate Association of Ukraine “AROU” will assist you in preparing the application, ensuring legal accuracy and support throughout the process.
Why can a plaintiff be absent from the court process
The court allows consideration of a case without the plaintiff’s presence when their attendance is not mandatory for resolving the matter. This is a convenient option, especially when:
- The plaintiff is in another city or abroad and physically cannot attend the hearing.
- The case can be resolved based on submitted evidence, and the plaintiff’s presence is not required.
- The plaintiff wants to expedite the process and avoid delays due to personal absence.
However, for the court to agree to hear the case without the plaintiff, an official application must be filed.
What is an application to consider a case without the plaintiff
This is an official document in which the plaintiff expresses their wish not to attend the hearing and requests the court to consider the case based on already submitted evidence and materials. The application must be properly prepared, justified, and submitted to the court on time. It is an important document showing the court that the plaintiff understands the consequences of their absence and is ready to entrust the consideration of the case to the court without personal involvement.
