Failure to Appear After Requesting Postponement Due to Health

The court upheld the decision to impose costs on a party who failed to appear at conciliation hearings after requesting a postponement due to impending hospitalization, confirming that a party cannot presume automatic approval of a rescheduling request based on health grounds. The court reasoned that a summons remains valid until officially revoked, and when requesting a delay based on health, the requesting party must secure confirmation from the judge regarding the status of their application, especially after submitting supporting documents, rather than simply failing to appear based on the submitted medical certificate alone, as the judge retains broad discretion in granting postponements.
