If a small claims court date is ignored, the court may issue a default judgment in favor of the party that appeared. This means the absent party may lose the case automatically without presenting their side. Additionally, ignoring a court date can harm your credibility and may lead to further legal consequences, such as additional fees or collection actions. It's important to communicate with the court if you cannot attend the hearing.
