What is a notice of hearing?

A notice of hearing is a legal document that is sent to parties involved in a dispute or legal case. It informs them of the time, date, and location of a scheduled hearing or court proceeding. The notice typically includes information about the purpose of the hearing, such as whether it is a pre-trial hearing or a hearing to present evidence. The notice of hearing is usually sent by mail or served in person and is often required to be delivered a certain number of days before the hearing. It is important for recipients to read the notice carefully and, if necessary, to contact the court or their attorney to confirm the details of the hearing. Failure to attend a hearing without proper excuse can result in serious consequences, such as a default judgment being entered against the absent party.
