Appear before or engage advocate to defend..

You can attend as the other party is coming forward for a compromise.   This is just a formality and no one can force on you anything.  It is just an opportunity to hear the other side and whether accept it or not is left to your will.

Dr J C Vashista (Advocate)     20 March 2022
