What is a summons?
A summons is an important official document with which the claiming party informs the defending party about a (civil) court case.
What is the purpose of the summons?
The purpose of a summons is to give the defendant insight into the claim, the grounds and the demands, so that they can properly defend themselves in the court case.
This written notice must be served (formally delivered) to the defendant. This may not be done by registered letter but must be formally delivered by a bailiff.
When is a summons needed?
A summons is necessary if you want to take someone to court to resolve a dispute or to protect your rights.
You must inform the other party and the subdistrict court with a written document. This written document is the summons.
A summons can relate to a wide range of matters, such as:
- Collection procedures
- Employment law disputes
- Tenancy disputes
- Contractual disputes
- Intellectual property cases
- Liability law cases
- Family and inheritance law cases
