I had a relative attend on my behalf with necessary documention to provide an adequate defense otherwise they were to request an adjournment. The jp heard the case, and as a result of the documents my relative provided, two charges were dismissed and I paid a small speeding fee..

Representation does not need to be a paralegal/lawyer, etc. anyone can attend on your behalf - my relative is no paralegal.

Thanks to all who provided advice. I appreciate it.

I had a trial set for march 08, I missed by pure accident. I had a JP reinstate and obtained a new trial date. I now have a serious scheduling issue and again cannot make it. If I send someone in my place to request the adjournment, will my previous actions be a factor in deciding a another adjournment? I have a very important meeting and cannot miss it. Would appreciate any helpful information. Thanks!!!
