A North Carolina Notice of Special Appearance Civil is a legal document used to notify the court that a party is appearing in a civil action for a limited purpose. The party can be either a plaintiff or defendant in the case. This legal document informs the court that the party is appearing in a limited capacity and does not intend to be involved in the proceedings beyond that purpose. The Notice must be filed with the Clerk of Court in the county where the case is being heard. There are two main types of North Carolina Notice of Special Appearance Civil: General Appearance and Limited Appearance. A General Appearance is a full acknowledgment of the legal claim and the party’s involvement in the case. A Limited Appearance is a notification to the court that the party is appearing in the case for a specific purpose, such as a motion to dismiss or a motion for summary judgment.
