If you need to miss a court case, a valid excuse might include something like a sudden illness, a family emergency, or an unavoidable conflict, like a pre-scheduled medical procedure. It's important to inform the court right away and provide any supporting documentation, or you risk facing penalties for not attending.
Your letter can be typed or neatly handwritten. You should date and sign your letter. You don't need to write formal words to the Court, just make sure everything in your letter is genuine. It is usually a good idea to keep your letter to a page in length, and no more than two pages.
You can, but it won't be read and you will be perceived as a troublemaker. The judge would be well with procedure to provide the unopened letter to your lawyer, and possibly opposing counsel as well (although the latter is unlikely).
Writing a character letter can be a critical part of the court process. Whether you're supporting a loved one or someone in your community, your words can make a significant impact.
You must explain your reason for making the request and be sure to include the case number, the year of your case, the scheduled date of the hearing you will not be able to attend, and the Part and room number where your case is scheduled. Address the letter to the appropriate civil court clerk's office.
