Arizona Small Claims Summons and Complaint, and Instructions for Plaintiff is a legal document used to initiate a lawsuit in small claims court in the state of Arizona. This document is used by someone (the plaintiff) who wishes to sue another person (the defendant) for a certain amount of money. The plaintiff must fill out the form with their name, address, and the name and address of the defendant. The form also includes information regarding the amount of money being sought and a brief explanation of the claim. This document must be signed and dated by the plaintiff, and then served to the defendant. There are two types of Arizona Small Claims Summons and Complaint, and Instructions for Plaintiff: one for filing a claim in a Justice Court and one for filing a claim in a Magistrate Court. In the Justice Court form, the plaintiff must list the specific facts that led to the dispute and the amount of damages being sought. The Magistrate Court form is similar in that it requires the same information but also includes a section for the plaintiff to list any witnesses or evidence that will be provided to support their claim. Once the form is filled out, the plaintiff must serve the summons and complaint to the defendant in a manner prescribed by Arizona law. This may include delivering the documents in person, via mail, or through a third-party process server. The plaintiff must also provide the defendant with a copy of the instructions for plaintiff, which explains the steps they must take to respond to the summons and complaint. If the defendant fails to respond, the plaintiff may obtain a default judgment from the court.
