Summons {3DC50}

Form 3DC50 - SUMMONS. This form is used by the District Court of the Third Circuit in the State of Hawai‘i to formally notify a defendant that a legal case has been filed against them, typically involving landlord-tenant disputes such as eviction (summary possession). The form directs the defendant to either file a written response or appear in court on a specified date and time, which is determined based on the court division where the case is filed. If the defendant fails to respond or appear, the court may issue a default judgment in favor of the plaintiff, granting the relief sought in the complaint—such as possession of the rental property or monetary damages. The form also includes instructions for law enforcement on serving the summons and outlines permissible times for service. In addition, it informs defendants who are corporations or LLCs that they must be represented by a licensed Hawai‘i attorney. The form lists court locations and scheduling details for hearings across various divisions within the Third Circuit. www.FormsWorkflow.com
