How do you  get failure to appear dismissed?
<answer> Failure to appear in a civil case has slightly different consequences than those in other failure to appear cases. If the plaintiff (the one who filed the lawsuit) fails to appear in court as required, the case may be dismissed, thereby forfeiting the chance to pursue the legal case in the future. <context> If the defendant or respondent in a civil case commits a failure to appear violation, the court may automatically judge in favor of the plaintiff in the absence of a trial. This is called a default judgment and the decisions rendered in this way are legally binding to all parties.ailure to appear in a civil case has slightly different consequences than those in other failure to appear cases.
