Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Pennsylvania

Re: Wrong info on court papers

Because it was served to the right person showing up is the thing to do.

However, when you get there and the case is called you have a claim of improper service.

Depending on the court the complaint could be dismissed because of defects in the complaint. That said the court might over look the errors.

Given the seriousness of the complaint you'd be advised to seek counsel. Even if the court dismisses the complaint due to errors there is nothing to stop the complaining party to refile the complaint with the right information.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.

Since the Sheriff had personal service the address doesn't really matter. Yes it is a legal order to appear. If the name is misspelled that is the type of technical defect that is overlooked.
