Canon 1593. §1 If the respondent thereafter appears before the judge, or replies before the trial is concluded, he or she can bring forward conclusions and proofs, without prejudice to the provisions of can. 1600; the judge is to take care, however, that the process is not deliberately prolonged by lengthy and unnecessary delays.

§2 Even if the respondent has neither appeared nor given a reply before the case is decided, he or she can challenge the judgement; if the person can show that there was a just reason for being absent, and that there was no fault involved in not intimating this earlier, a plaint of nullity can be lodged.

§1. Si pars conventa dein in iudicio se sistat aut responsum dederit ante causae definitionem, conclusiones probationesque afferre potest, firmo praescripto can. 1600; caveat autem iudex, ne de industria in longiores et non necessarias moras iudicium protrahatur.

§2. Etsi non comparuerit aut responsum non dederit ante causae definitionem, impugnationibus uti potest adversus sententiam; quod si probet se legitimo impedimento fuisse detentam, quod sine sua culpa antea demonstrare non potuerit, querela nullitatis uti potest.
