When a defendant fails to show up for a court-ordered deposition, the opposing party may file a motion to compel, requesting the court to enforce compliance. The court may impose sanctions against the defendant, which can include monetary penalties or, in some cases, striking their pleadings or defenses. Additionally, the absence can hurt the defendant's case, as it may be viewed unfavorably by the court. Ultimately, the consequences depend on the specific circumstances and the judge's discretion.
