The District of Columbia Notice of Hearing and Order To Appear is a document issued by the court to notify a party of a scheduled court hearing. It outlines the charges against the party, the date and time of the hearing, and the location of the court. Depending on the type of case, the notice may also require the party to appear with witnesses or documents. There are two main types of District of Columbia Notice of Hearing and Order To Appear: criminal and civil. For criminal cases, the Notice of Hearing and Order To Appear is issued to the defendant and requires them to appear in court on the date and time specified. This notice may also include a list of possible penalties, instructions for obtaining legal representation, and any bond or fines that may have been imposed. For civil cases, the Notice of Hearing and Order To Appear is issued to both the plaintiff and the defendant. This notice outlines the charges, the date and time of the hearing, and any relevant instructions. This notice may also include instructions for obtaining legal representation, as well as instructions for filing a response to the charges. In either case, failure to appear at the hearing as ordered may result in the court issuing a warrant for the party's arrest.
