 Failure to appear - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Where the conduct alleged in the summons or complaint is an infraction or summary offence, failure to appear is a crime for which a bench-warrant can be issued if the defendant promised to appear.
Failure to appear is the legal term for the failure of a defendant or respondent to appear within the stated time before a tribunal as directed in a summons.
If the conduct alleged is a tort or other cause for civil action, failure to appear generally results in a default judgement by the court in favor of the plaintiff/petitioner.
