What is a Motion for Consideration in Absence?
A motion for consideration in absence is a formal request to an arbitration tribunal to consider a case or issue a decision without the presence of one or both parties.
- It is typically filed when a party is unable to attend a hearing or session.
- The motion must be submitted in writing and in a timely manner.
Reasons for Filing a Motion
There are several reasons why a party may file a motion for consideration in absence, including:
- Illness or injury.
- Unforeseen circumstances.
- Conflict of schedule.
Implications of a Motion for Consideration in Absence
If the motion is granted, the arbitration tribunal will proceed with the case without the absent party's participation.
- The absent party may still be bound by the decision.
- It is crucial to have a valid reason for filing the motion.
