Plaintiff filed a civil suit for real property against her ex-boyfriend last year (11/2006), (and has refused to move and is living free there) trial date set 11/26/07. 12 days prior, she let go of her attorney, or he quit. She hired a new one 11/14/07. He wanted a continuance to 3/24/08, but defendant lawyer refused unless conditions were met, and only continued to 12/17/07. Plaintiff's attorney agreed. The conditions so far have not be honored, plaintiff has refused. What possible ramifications are there from a case where the plaintiff doesn't honor court ordered conditions?

summary judgment for defendent is a possible court ordered solution. another would be citation for contempt of court with possible fine and/or instant jail sentence.
details may vary based on state and the specific court -- defying a Judge is a very dicey bit.
