When in court, a solicitor or lawyer is often acting as an agent and is acting under the instructions of his principal. The principal needs to be in court for it to be a valid court of law.
If there is no principal in court, then the solicitor has no case. If the principal is a legal fiction, then the solicitor has committed fraud in a court of law.
