Then the judge normally finds you guilty and you can get tried for contempt of court (that second doesn't always happen). If you plan on anything besides a terminal disease, make it to that court date. They really don't view your snubbing them well.
It may depend on whether you are actually referring to a summons or a subpoena, (they ARE different) AND what your role in the case may be.
Please re-phrase the question with more specifics and re-submit.
They have to refile an extension for more time to serve you. Depending on what type of law you are being attempted to be served, that alotted time varies. California Civil Courts are one year. Criminal cases depending on the crime can have a limitless amount of time There ARE what's called "statutes of limitaions" on most types of cases though and that determined the allowed time maximum you can be served in.
what happen's if a respondent dose not serve the petitioner a response to a summons
If you are suing a city or other type of municipality, you serve the summons on the Clerk of the city or municipality.
Can I serve a summons to the defendants attorney if the defendant cannot be found
That depends upon the laws of the state in which the judgment was issued, the least amount of time would be 10 business days from the time the summons was served.
No, the case can not continue until you have been legally served. When it is returned as unserved, the case effectively ends unless they issue an alias summons (i.e. additional attempt to serve you). What this also means is that the summons was returned to the court, and was not successfully served, therefore no process server has a copy to potentially serve you later UNLESS an alias summons is issued to try a second time to serve you. It is wise to keep watch to make sure this does not occur.
Yes it is.
Yes, a credit card company is required to properly serve you notice of a lawsuit in order to obtain a judgment against you. If you were not properly served and did not have an opportunity to defend yourself in court, you may have legal grounds to challenge the judgment. It is important to consult with a legal professional to understand your rights and options in this situation.
no you cant that's bull.
Yes. If you have made and documented every effort to locate your husband and cannot find him you can get permission from the court to publish a "motion to serve" in the newspaper. If you still can't get his attention to serve him with divorce papers within 60 days, you'll go back to get a new summons and additional time. It is pretty much up to the judge from that point forward.
conflict of interest
summons or subpoena, yes
In general an employer must allow you the time off from the job to answer the summons to serve on the jury, but is not required to pay you for the time off.
