You need to call and find out who that stand-in is. If she's been ill then she should have someone else working your case. If she was not able to pull the information together for the discovery her stand-in could and probably would ask for another court date for her giving her time to get that information together.

If by chance she didn't show up and didn't send a stand-in to court for her then you can report her to the Bar Association for not doing her duty and losing a decision for you. You can petition the court for another date or find yourself another attorney who will cancel out that first attorney and take your case to court for you. She should have scheduled a stand-in.
