When a commissioner requests an appearance in court, what must you do?

When a commissioner requests an appearance in court, you are required to comply with that request by appearing as ordered. This is a fundamental aspect of legal procedure, reflecting the authority of the court and the necessity for accountability within the legal system. Failing to appear as directed could result in legal consequences, including possible contempt of court charges.

Your presence allows the court to address the matter at hand and ensures that any issues are managed appropriately and efficiently. It acknowledges the seriousness of the commissioner’s request and the importance of judicial proceedings. The obligation to appear reinforces the respect for the court's authority and facilitates the administration of justice.

Options involving rescheduling, filing a written response, or sending a representative do not fulfill the requirement of attending the court appearance as stipulated by the commissioner, which is crucial for maintaining the protocol of court procedures.
