What would cause a case set for trial to be re-set?
Generally, two things will cause a case to be re-set? One is scheduling difficulties among the witnesses or attorneys. It is sometimes discovered after a case is set for trial and the subpoenas have gone out that one of the essential actors in the case, either attorneys or witnesses, is unable to be present at the trial. A typical trial will have between half a dozen witnesses and dozens of them. The possibilities for scheduling difficulties, even when the presence of a witness is ordered by the court, are enormous.
