Legal Question in Business Law in Minnesota

Re: a contract for service that cant be canceled

Here is a link to Minnesota Rule of Civil Procedure, Rule 8.02, which outlines in general terms what should be contained in an answer responding to a complaint. http://www.courts.state.mn.us/rules/civil/RCP.htm#C802

Note, this should not be considered legal advice; you have not retained me to represent or advise you and no attornye-client relationship exists between us.

That said, good luck to you.

Re: a contract for service that cant be canceled

THE FOLLOWING IS GENERAL LEGAL INFORMATION AND IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE. IT DOES NOT CREATE AN ATTORNEY CLIENT RELATIONSHIP.

How you proceed depends on if you received a summons and complaint and you are being sued in district court, or if you received a summons and complaint and are being sued in small claims court (aka conciliation court).

If you are being sued in district court someone either handed you the summons and complaint or they were mailed to you. If they were handed to you you have 20 days to answer, if you dont answer within that time the plaintiff can move for default judgment and win his case. If the papers were mailed to you there is no service unless you mail back an admission of service. If you were mailed papers that contain an admission of service you are not required to mail back the admission of service.

If you are being sued in small claims court then a court date and time has already been set. You appear at that date and time and both you and the plaintiff present evidence to the judge. The judge usually renders a decision in a day or two after the court date.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me. Good luck.

Yours truly,
