If you receive a form called a Summons (SUM-100) it means that someone is suing you in court. In addition to the Summons, youll also receive another document, called a Complaint. The Complaint describes the details of the case against you.
If you have a summons and do not show up you are in contempt of court, and the judge may order a warrant for your arrest, and you may sit in jail waiting for your trial. More likely you will have to post bail and/or wear a monitoring ankle bracelet. All of this happens before the case is adjudicated.
Service of a Summons and Complaint is a process to compel someone to appear in court to defend him/her/itself against a lawsuit.
Upon receiving a civil summons, the defendant must understand that they are typically required to submit a written answer. This answer should address each point raised in the complaint meticulously. It is imperative to respond within the specified deadline, which usually ranges from 20 to 30 days.
