Question

In Virginia, for a civil case, if a person has several chronic physical health and mental health conditions that make it very difficult to be in highly stressful situations (i.e., a courtroom). Can that person be excused from appearing at a hearing due to health problems and for the case to go ahead as scheduled? If so, how is this done?



Answer

No, I cannot imagine such a person successfully prosecuting his

or her civil claim in the appropriate court without ever having to personally

appear in the matter before the trier of fact.
