What kind of hearing is it? ( civil , family , criminal etc )
If you can get consent from the other parties and it is over 14 days before the hearing you can make an application to adjourn on form N244 and there's no fee payable. The application will need to include evidence of the health issues and seems likely you may need to obtain consent to act on your partners behalf.

It would make life simpler if you obtain consent from the other side but they may say no and that the case can proceed with just you if the claim is against you both jointly, as may the court.
Is this a mortgage possession claim?#staysafestayhome

Update; I submitted the forms for an adjournment together with a medical certificate clearly detailing the breakdown and how my partner needed complete rest. TYhe court refused this application-which I think is a kick in the face for mental health issues-We had no choice but to attend the hearing but my partner was not really fit (at all) can I complain against the judge's decision?
