Superior Court Judge Helen M. Toor gave counsel for Acuity Insurance Co. an extra 15 minutes to appear for trial and criticized the excuse of no parking for the no-show.
"Normal incidents of life such as bad traffic, a child's tantrum, snowy roads, spilled coffee, or challenging parking are reasons to allow extra time getting to court."
The judge highlighted that the 15-minute grace period should be added to the half-hour the lawyer should be arriving for trial, making circling for 45 minutes unacceptable.
