Abstract

Objectives: The study aims to clarify the legal regulations governing the attendance and absence of litigants in civil judicial proceedings, whether in person or through a lawyer with a duly authorized power of attorney. Additionally, the study aims to illustrate the differences in legal consequences affecting judicial proceedings, as a result of the absence of some or all parties to the lawsuit.

Methods: The researcher follows the descriptive, analytical method, by analyzing the legal texts that regulate this issue and other relevant texts, as well as other jurisprudence. For this purpose, the researcher relies on procedural jurisprudence in general and Jordanian procedural jurisprudence in particular.

Results: The study concludes that the absence of all or some parties from attending sessions does not usually prevent the court from proceeding with the lawsuit and issuing a judgement therein. The most significant procedural penalty resulting from the absence of some or all parties to the lawsuit includes dismissal of the case.

Conclusion: The study proposes amending Article (67) of the Civil Procedures Law to specify the type of dismissal and whether it is temporary or final. The study also suggests reviewing Article (12) of the court fees legislation by reducing the fees required when renewing a dismissed case.
