Is it legal for the court to notify the court time by SMS?

Legal analysis: the court can only inform you of the hearing, and it is useless for others to inform you. The court will tell you at least one week in advance, let you reply, and will not let you bear the lawyer's fee, let alone pronounce a sentence in court.

Legal basis: People's Republic of China (PRC) Civil Procedure Law.

Article 87 With the consent of the person to be served, the people's court may serve litigation documents by fax, e-mail or other means that can confirm receipt, except for judgments, rulings and conciliation statements.

If it is delivered by the way mentioned in the preceding paragraph, the date when it reaches the addressee's specific system by fax or e-mail shall be the date of delivery.

Article 135 Electronic service can be carried out by fax, e-mail, mobile communication and other specific systems that can be received immediately.

Article 136 If the addressee agrees to be served by electronic means, it shall confirm it in the confirmation of the address of service.
