Connecticut Summons in a Civil Action is a document issued by the court to notify a defendant that they are being sued by a plaintiff in a civil case. The summons informs the defendant of the nature of the claim, the court in which the action is pending, and the amount of time the defendant has to file a response. Connecticut Summons in a Civil Action can be issued in different forms, including an Original Summons, a Notice of Appearance, a Motion for Substituted Service, and a Motion to Set Aside Summons. Each type of summons has specific requirements that must be met in order for the defendant to be properly notified.
