Failure to respond to a subpoena is punishable as contempt by either the court or agency issuing the subpoena. Punishment may include monetary sanctions (even imprisonment although extremely unlikely).
If you ignore the summons, the plaintiff is eligible to receive a default judgment from the court, in an amount ascertained by affidavit, verified pleading, and other evidence certified by the court. The judgment can be executed against certain nonexempt assets of yours, and can be detrimental to your credit.
In simple terms, a summons being issued means the court has authorized its delivery, but until it is served, the individual it addresses remains unaware of the legal action. This creates a legal limbo where the case cannot proceed as intended.
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.
Many people feel that if they ignore or discard a court summons, the problem will somehow disappear. In reality, ignoring a summons can trigger a cascade of legal consequencesfrom default judgments and wage garnishments to property liens and even arrest warrants in certain situations.
