What is a civil notice?

A civil notice is a formal legal document that informs a party about a civil legal action or proceeding involving them. It serves to notify individuals or entities of claims or lawsuits filed against them, outlining the necessary steps they must take in response, such as appearing in court or filing a defense. Civil notices are essential for ensuring that all parties have the opportunity to present their case and are typically governed by specific rules and regulations within the legal system.
