Can Someone Refuse to Be Served Papers? No, in California a person cannot refuse to accept service. If we can identify a person on whom legal service can be made either personally or by sub-service and they refuse to accept the documents, we can absolutely still serve them.
The summons shall be directed to the defendant, shall state the time within which these rules require the defendant to appear and defend, and shall notify the defendant that in case of his or her failure to do so judgment by default will be rendered against that defendant for the relief demanded in the complaint.
The petition is usually used in cases where the facts are not in serious dispute so that they can be determined by a judge reading the evidence set out in affidavits. In some cases, a petition must be used to start a claim.
If papers cannot be served correctly, there could be a postponement of the case or even thrown out of court. Thats why it is very important that you should contact a professional to ensure the process is completed accurately and legally.
If you have not been properly served, and you dont show up, the court has no personal jurisdiction over you, and cant enter a judgment against you. The case can be continued to another court date, and the other side can try again to serve you.
