summons
n. A court order to an individual to appear in court at a specified place and time. The term is now used only in certain categories of criminal cases for appearance at a magistrates’ court. Before the introduction of the Civil Procedure Rules in 1999, it was used in civil cases for hearings in the county court and applications to a judge sitting in chambers about procedural matters prior to the court hearing. Such orders are now made by application notice. See also witness summons.
