| Florida Summons A Florida summons is addressed to a defendant in a legal proceeding. Typically, the Florida summons will announce to the person to whom it is directed that a legal proceeding has been started against that person, and that a file has been started in the Florida court records. The Florida summons announces a date by which the defendant (s) must either appear in court, or respond in writing to the court or the opposing party or parties. The Florida summons is the descendant of the writ of the common law. In ancient Persian law, if one failed to answer the summons of the King the punishment was death.
In England and Wales, the term writ of summons for the originating document in civil proceedings has been replaced with the term Claim Form by the Civil Procedure Rules 1998 (CPR). This is part of the reforms to simplify legal terminology.
In most U.S. jurisdictions, the service of a summons is in most cases required for the court to have personal jurisdiction over the party who is being "haled" into court involuntarily. A Florida summons makes no exception to the most commonly enforced U.S. jurisdictions. The process by which a Florida summons is served is called service of process. Florida Service of Process is what we specialize in. The form and content of service in the Florida Court system is governed by Statute 48 and the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, and all the rules of the Florida courts are exact and consistent. A Florida summons is drafted by an Attorney and then issued by the clerk of the court. Serving a Florida Summons is usually expedited by a Private Process Server who possesses a court or Sheriff issued license.
