Loads of people seem to think that you can ignore a court summons by simply refuse to take it. Obviously that’s not how it works if you know that you have been served that’s enough. He would have to prove that he didn’t know he had been served which is pretty difficult.
If he’s been served it will have been documented, the court won’t have proceeded with the case if they don’t think the person named in the case has been served, so the fact that he didn’t turn up to court means he must have been served otherwise they wouldn’t have had the trial yet.

Difficult, yes. Stupid, indeed. How the legal system works? Also true.
If he’s been served it will have been documented, the court won’t have proceeded with the case if they don’t think the person named in the case has been served, so the fact that he didn’t turn up to court means he must have been served otherwise they wouldn’t have had the trial yet.
Fun fact, the case did not proceed they’re specifically asking for it to.
No, the date proceeds unless the court says otherwise even if it’s simply to show up and say they don’t have service yet.
Y’all really don’t have any civil court experience do you?
