How long can you be held on house arrest before a court case is thrown out if the prosecutor can't be found?

House arrest is USUALLY ordered by the court. You will remain on house arrest until released by the judge who ordered it. The "missing prosecutor" is entirely irrelevant because, in his absence, the prosecution of the case will just be assumed another prosecutor.

The length of time someone can be held on house arrest without a court case being thrown out due to a missing prosecutor varies depending on the jurisdiction and specific circumstances. It is generally expected that a defendant should not be held indefinitely without a prosecutor, so it's possible that the court may eventually dismiss the case if a prosecutor cannot be found within a reasonable time frame. However, it is important to consult with a lawyer to understand the specific laws and processes in your jurisdiction.

Can a payday loan company issue a warrant for your arrest for defaulting on a loan?
No. Only the court (Judges) may issue a warrant for someone's arrest. No lender may have you arrested for not paying a loan, however, if you don't show up to court (or have legal representation at court), the judge may issue a bench warrant for your arrest (with the intention of getting you in front of the court, not to put you in jail). If the default, however, is subsequently believed to be a result of fraud, the judge may pass the particulars of the case to a prosecutor who will likely request a warrant for your arrest. In this case, the warrant is meant to hold you for trial in criminal court.

Usually police or another agency will conduct an investigation. They will present this information to the prosecutor who will review the facts.

The judge will then read the warrant and make a decision if an arrest is made. Once the arrest is made, the case goes through plea bargening channels and if an agreement isn't met, a trial at court will occur
