What does it mean to receive a court summons?

Legal analysis: Court summons refers to a document uniformly produced by the court and served to the parties to a case, requiring them to attend the trial at a specified time. When you receive a summons, you should appear in court on time. But in reality, many parties have received court summons and refused to appear in court, thinking that they can avoid litigation. No matter what it is, it is not correct to refuse to accept the summons of the court, because the court will serve it in other ways, and then the court will hold a hearing, and the adverse consequences will be borne by the corresponding parties.

Legal basis: Article 143 of the Civil Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). If the plaintiff refuses to appear in court without justifiable reasons after being summoned by a summons, or withdraws from court without the permission of the court, the prosecution may be dismissed. If the defendant counterclaims, he may make a judgment by default.
