The Pennsylvania Notice (To Defend) is a court document issued by a court in the state of Pennsylvania, which informs a defendant in a civil lawsuit that they have been sued, and they are required to defend themselves in court. It is a legal requirement for all civil lawsuits to issue a Pennsylvania Notice (To Defend) to the defendant. There are generally two types of Pennsylvania Notice (To Defend): 1) a notice to appear in court, and 2) a notice to answer a complaint. The notice to appear in court is served to the defendant to inform them of the date and time of the court hearing, as well as any other relevant information. The notice to answer a complaint is served to the defendant to inform them of the allegations made against them in the lawsuit and to ask them to respond to the complaint. The Pennsylvania Notice (To Defend) is a critical document in the legal process, as it gives the defendant the opportunity to respond to the complaint and prepare a defense.
