Q. Is someone was forced to go to a secular court by a Psak given by a Beis Din for refusal to attend and then he changes his mind and decides to attend Beis Din. Would automatically the heter given to the other party to take him to court be nullified?

A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that it would be nullified if the defendant attends without any further delays that particular Beis Din where he was summoned before. He also has to pay the plaintiff any costs that he may have incurred due to his prior refusal to attend Beis Din.
