I totally agree. The judge cannot make a decision without the participation of one of the parties.

It's an interesting legal tactic: 

-- file a law suit. 

-- tie up your opponent's election for board members, leaving them without a quorum. 

-- just for insurance, prevent the CEO's contract from being extended (due to the aforementioned lack of a board quorum). 

-- go to court.  Prevent the opponent's attorney from participating, claiming he was not properly appointed. - due to the lack of a board quorum to do so.

-- essentially win the case by default, since there is no opposition. 

 

Interesting, and apparently effective.  But one has to wonder what the judge was thinking, to let it happen.
