Failure to appear for a scheduled court appearance is an offence (''Criminal Code'', ss 145(4) and (5)) usually punishable by summary conviction. If the client did not appear, there is probably a bench warrant out for his or her arrest. This can be verified online on the CSO website (see box above for link). The client must be advised to report to the courthouse and apply to "vacate the warrant". The client must be advised to turn himself or herself in immediately. | Failure to appear for a scheduled court appearance is an offence (''Criminal Code'', ss 145(4) and (5)) usually punishable by summary conviction.
