A person could choose to ignore the subpoena. Unless they follow the appropriate laws to request that the subpoena be quashed, they could be punished for ignoring it.

Can a person get out of a subpeona?

In certain circumstances, a person may challenge or contest a subpoena by filing a motion to quash with the court that issued the subpoena. Valid reasons for quashing a subpoena include lack of proper service, privilege, undue burden, or relevance. It is important to seek legal advice when considering how to respond to a subpoena.

What is it called when you are summoned for court?

One can actually be summoned to court with whistle and a nod, if that person were willing to show up. Typically, however, the court will issue a subpoena (or, a summons) upon the request of a party to the litigation. Without the subpoena, the opposing party will have no recourse if you don't show up. The subpoena must be properly served for the summons to have any legal weight in the case one does not appear. But even an order made in open court, in the presence of the person being ordered, is sufficient.


What happens if you get a subpeona and do not show to court?

You get a default judgment which will eliminate the consumer's right to defend one self (apparently this is what the banks' attorney will make you believe and a judge will usually go with it unless you stand up for yourself and not get intimidated by the banks' attorneys) The above is not accurate. A default judgment might be entered if you fail to go to court on a SUMMONS and Complaint. A SUBPOENA is a court command to appear in court in someone else's case to either testify or bring documents that are to be used in evidence. If you get a SUBPOENA to appear in court on a specific date and you do not go, it is possible the court will hold you in contempt and perhaps issue a bench warrant for your arrest in serious cases. Do not confuse a SUMMONS with a SUBPOENA. They are two different types of court process used for two different types of court actions.
