Does a defendant have an option to attend his civil court calendar hearing?
A summons/complaint is a notification of sorts. It informs the named person that he or she is a party to a lawsuit. In most circumstances one does not have to appear in court when it relates to a summons only. Although non appearance will most likely result in a default judgment being awarded to the plaintiff(s). If the summons is accompanied by a motion of discovery order, the defendant should file a written response within the time required. The defendant will then be notified of the date for the discovery hearing and the documents that are to be presented. That notice in most state courts will be a subpoena. A subpoena is a DIRECT order from the court and must be obeyed or the non complaint party can be found in contempt, which is not, to put it mildly a good thing.
