I do not think that will be necessary. Nothing in what you have shown states that all parties must attend.
With you plus 12 (or 11) defendants, will 30 minutes be sufficient time?Lawyer (solicitor) - retired from practice, now supervising solicitor in a university law clinic. I do not advise by private message.

Thanks for the prompt reply Atticus, the 30 minutes was prescribed by the judge. the order came out of the blue, still have not received the other sides defence even though it was filed with the court 2 months ago. and presume if I wish to reply to it , will have to apply to the judge to reply to the defence out of time.Comment
