d'avoir à comparaître et se trouver pour les raisons ci-après exposées, devant le Tribunal de Commerce de YYY à l'audience du (date)

Il est rappelé au destinataire, conformément aux dispositions des articles 56, 853 et 855 du Nouveau Code de Procédure Civile:

Que les parties se défendent elles-mêmes ou qu’elles ont la faculté de se faire assister ou représenter par toute personne de leur choix.

Que son représentant, s'il n'est avocat doit justifier d'un pouvoir spécial.

Que faute de comparaître ou de se faire représenter, elles s'exposent à ce qu'un jugement soit rendu contre elles sur les seuls éléments fournis par leurs adversaires.

Am I right in thinking that the company's legal representatives have to be physically present in the court ?

TIA

no translation required

prime example of tautology, unnecessary to translate. "to appear" is all you need in English

agree writeaway : or appear and be present, as Maria suggests.I don't think it's in the French by accident and should be expressed in English too. seems to be used for emphasis./you can appear and then leave.let the lawyers act in your absence
1 hr
can you appear without being present? As regards emphasis, can you get more emphatic than a summons?
