Hello

If someone is a major witness in civil court (family court)

And is ill what should they do?
Can they dismiss the person as a witness?

Even thought the said person fighting will not get a fair trial as this witness is essential to the process

Thanks

I can only tell you what would happen in a court of law. the witness would have to provide medical evidence to the court asap, and the case would probably be adjourned until that witness was able to attend, unless the witness statement was accepted by all parties (ie, no need for any questioning, which sounds unlikely to me).
inform the court manager of non attendance , a copy of medical certificate is always helpful. The case will be adjourned if the judge views the witness as critical to the proceedings
