A motion for a continuance is a request asking the judge to make an order changing your hearing date. If the judge grants your motion, your court date will be postponed to a later time. For most requests for continuances, you must provide the judge with a suitable reason (good cause) for postponing your court date.
Continuance is what a court may grant to delay proceedings until a later date. Parties in a suit or the judge themselves may wish to have a continuance granted in order to prepare for proceedings.
What are considered to be acceptable reason for a continuance 1. Not having an attorney or not having had the time to look for an attorney. 2. Illness of party or attorney. 3. Attorney having an unexpected event occur in another case that would cause them to be unable to attend. 4. Family emergency. 5.
Some of the reasons that might necessitate a continuance include: You need additional time to secure an attorney to represent you in court. You need more time to gather evidence because the other side has been stalling on discovery requests. You need more time to locate witnesses who are critical to your case.
Even if the other party does not agree, you may still contact the court to request a continuance of the hearing date. With the current public health crisis, judges may be more sensitive to health concerns and more lenient in granting continuances.
