A Utah Civil Summons is a legal document issued by a Utah court ordering a person to appear in court to answer an alleged legal complaint. It is typically issued by a court clerk or a sheriff's department and is served by a sheriff, process server, or a registered mail service. There are two types of Utah Civil Summons: a Summons to Answer a Complaint and a Summons to Appear for Trial. The Summons to Answer a Complaint informs the defendant that they have been sued and provides them with the details of the complaint, such as the name of the court and the name of the plaintiff. The Summons to Appear for Trial orders the defendant to appear before the court on a certain date and time for the trial. Both types of Civil Summons must be served on the defendant in person or via registered mail.
