Is it true to respond to the SMS reminder?

The short message responding to the lawsuit is false. The pre-litigation notice will be notified by paper, not by SMS. SMS notification can easily lead to fraud. Therefore, China does not advocate SMS notification.

The defendant should respond reasonably, mainly as follows:

1, sign for all kinds of litigation documents served by the court, including the notice of responding to the lawsuit, summons for court session, notice of giving evidence, etc. ;

2. The parties may take action on their own or entrust one or two agents ad litem as required. A lawyer who represents a lawsuit shall submit a power of attorney to the court. The power of attorney of a natural person shall be signed or sealed by the client; The power of attorney of a legal person shall be signed by the legal representative and stamped with the official seal. The power of attorney shall specify the entrusted matters and authority;

3. Submit the defense: According to the law, the defendant shall submit the defense within 15 days after receiving the copy of the complaint;

4. Collect and submit evidence. Be sure to read the court's notice of proof in detail and give evidence in strict accordance with the requirements of the court;

5. Attend the trial on time;

6. After the court's ruling and judgment come out, if you are dissatisfied, you should appeal in time. The appeal period of the ruling is 10 days, and the appeal period of the judgment is 15 days, counting from the day after receiving the ruling and judgment.
