'If a judge says [the hearing] must start at 9.30am but the woman cannot be there until 10am because of the school run, they should say something.'

What should they say? And is the judge likely to agree to defer the start time? Most of the judges before whom I've appeared would say little more than: 'if you can't get here for 9:30, tell your client to instruct an advocate who can'!
