Civil Summons And Complaint {CVRC}

CVRC3 - CIVIL SUMMONS. AND COMPLAINT. These forms issued by the Pima County Justice Courts in Arizona are documents that initiate a civil lawsuit. The Complaint form is filed by the plaintiff to formally state the legal basis for their claim against the defendant. It outlines why the plaintiff believes the defendant is liable, and it specifies the amount of money or relief the plaintiff is seeking, including interest and court costs. The plaintiff must sign the complaint under penalty of perjury, certifying that the allegations are true and correct to the best of their knowledge. The Civil Summons form is used to officially notify the defendant that a lawsuit has been filed against them. It provides critical instructions, including the requirement to file a written answer with the court and the deadline for doing so—20 calendar days if served within Arizona, or 30 calendar days if served outside the state. The summons warns that failure to respond within the designated time frame may result in a default judgment being entered against the defendant. Together, these two forms ensure that civil litigation is initiated according to proper legal procedures and that all parties are informed of their rights and obligations. www.FormsWorkflow.com
