Received the notice of responding to the lawsuit from Shanghai Higher People's Court?

Receiving the notice of responding to the lawsuit from the Shanghai Higher People's Court means that the court has accepted your case, but it does not necessarily mean that it will hold a hearing. The court will first accept the case and conduct a preliminary examination to determine whether further trial is needed.

During the first instance, the court may evaluate the case and consider the evidence and defense opinions put forward by all parties. If the court thinks it is necessary to hold a court session to solve the dispute or clarify the facts of the case, then it will arrange a trial.

However, not all cases will go to trial. Some cases can be judged in the first instance without trial. In addition, reconciliation or agreement between the two parties may also lead to the case not entering the trial procedure.

Whether to hold a court session in the end depends on the specific case and the court's decision. If you are in doubt about the latest development of the case and the possible trial date, it is recommended to contact your lawyer, who can provide you with more detailed information and help you with legal procedures.
