Missing a Case Management Hearing can have serious consequences, including the possibility of the tribunal making decisions without your input. The tribunal may impose sanctions or unfavorable orders against you due to your absence. If you miss a hearing, it’s crucial to contact the tribunal as soon as possible to explain your situation and seek guidance on next steps.

At a Case Management Hearing, the judge can issue various directions that shape the course of the case. These may include setting deadlines for document submissions, clarifying the issues to be addressed, and outlining the procedures for the upcoming hearing. Understanding the potential directions can help parties prepare more effectively and facilitate a smoother process.
