I wonder if this includes prosecution counsels?

Principal Magistrate Buba Jawo of the Kanifing Magistrates Court, has  
stressed that his court will not make any unnecessary adjournment in the absence  of 
litigants, without any tangible reasons. 
Principal Magistrate Jawo issued this warning on Wednesday, after a series of 
 adjournment in the court, due to the absence of litigants, as well as their  
counsel.  
He revealed that the court is not obliged to notify anybody to come to court  
once a sermon is issued. 
“Any litigant who absent themselves from coming to the court without  
presenting any tangible reasons would be held liable for breach of recognition  and 
the court may be forced to carry on with the case (s) and pass judgements  even 
in absentia,” the magistrate warned, adding that the court would, under no  
circumstances, adjourned cases unless valid reasons are advanced. 
Principal Magistrate Jawo observed that litigants, especially accused persons 
 are “notorious” for such acts and noted that such occurrences would not be  
condoned by his court. 
“Anytime they do not come to court, we will carry on with the cases and  
anything that happens, is their problem,” he reiterated.
