Your first hearing in Court: What if you need time to decide on your course of action?
- If you require more time to prepare your case or if you need to consult a lawyer before you decide on your next course of action, you may request for the Court to adjourn the case to another later date.
- The Court will consider the reasons for your request for an adjournment and then decide whether or not these reasons are of merit and deserving of your request being granted.
- If the case is adjourned, you may be required to furnish Court bail to ensure your attendance at the next hearing in Court or whenever required.
