tricha2u Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Hello All:I have a question about a hearing:I got served a summons and responded with a motion to dismiss with lack of jurisdiction/improper venue. Then the plaintiff sent in a motion to amend the complaint to add an additional count. Next I rec papers for a hearing.Here is my question:Why is there a hearing when the judge did not even respond to my motion to dismiss with lack of jurisdiction/improper venue?Should I respond to the defendantd motion to amend complaint to add an additional count? or should I just wait to the hearing?At the hearing can I still request a change of venue for lack of jurisdiction?Should I send in my "answer" to the summons even if I feel there is a jurisdiction/improper venue?Thanks for all your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recovering Attorney Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 I don't know what state or court level you are in, but I would say you do not have to answer the summons until the judge rules on your motion to dismiss.BTW, are you contesting venue ( where they brought the action) or the court's jurisdiction? You say both in your post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
