Questão jurídica principal
Whether the defendant's absence from the 27 May 2008 hearing was faultless and excused
Decisão extraída
The absence was not sufficiently justified by the documents produced and remained imputable to the defendant.
Fundamentação extraída
A party claiming illness must credibly substantiate the impediment with reasonable supporting elements; the hospital certificates only showed a one-day work incapacity and lacked medical content such as diagnosis or an inability to travel to Geneva.
