So what happens if they just don't show up to court? Sure you'll lose by default judgment, and then you can ignore the judgment, right? If I got a court summons from some random country like Sudan or Botswana or the UK I would just ignore it. How could that backfire assuming I don't plan on traveling to Sudan in my lifetime?

- elorm 4y agoSudan or Botswana ? You could definitely ignore. The UK government ? Not so much. If the case has enough clout and import, the UK government has enough “multilateral conventions and bilateral extradition treaties” to make your life really miserable.
