Your first hearing in Court: What if you need time to decide on your course of action?
LawGuide
If you require more time to prepare your case or if you need to consult a lawyer before you decide on your next course of action, you may request for the Court to adjourn the case to another later date.
The Court will consider the reasons for your request for an adjournment and then decide whether or not these reasons are of merit and deserving of your request being granted.
If the case is adjourned, you may be required to furnish Court bail to ensure your attendance at the next hearing in Court or whenever required.
