d23 notice of hearing

Hi there, I just recieved a d23 letter from the court with a date for a hearing next month.
My ex (respondent) applied for Decree Absolute and he has completed a d36 form requesting to be able to apply for decree absolute. The wording of the court date is confusing and I'm not sure if I need to be there it just says:

'take notice that the hearing of the respondents application for decree absolute will take place at the family court on (date), such hearing must be attended in person.

So does that mean I need to attend or just him?

Also some of the detail in the form d11 that he completed is incorrect!

Any help much appreciated, best,

Is there a reason why the decree absolute hasn't been applied for?

If there is e.g a home rights notice that would end on final dissolution of the marriage, then you need to explain the reasons for the delay to the court. You need to attend the hearing so the judge can ask you questions. It is up to the court to decide whether your reasons are sufficient. If they decide they aren't, you could have to pay the costs of the hearing.
