Summons for calling (Court of Session) definition
Published by a LexisNexis Family expert
What does Summons for calling (Court of Session) mean?
The process of lodging the summons for calling involves taking the summons up to court with a calling slip and a certificate proving effective service on the defender. Provided that effective service on the defender can be demonstrated, and the relevant period of notice (usually 21 days) has passed, the court will then ‘call’ the summons two days after it is lodged for calling. This commences the court timetable in terms of when the defender must enter appearance and lodge defences. When the summons calls, it appears in the calling list on the court rolls.
