Summons (Lawyers and Paralegals Only) in Ontario
The form is a summons document issued by the Landlord and Tenant Board, requiring an individual’s attendance at a specified hearing regarding a landlord and tenant matter. It outlines the hearing’s date, time, and location, details about the rental property in question, parties involved, and documents or items to bring. Additionally, it provides instructions for both the person serving the summons and the summoned individual, including fees entitled for participation and contact information for further inquiries. The form emphasizes the importance of direct service to the witness and outlines the consequences for non-compliance.
Filling out the summons form involves several steps: entering the name and address of the person being summoned at the top, including the file number associated with the case, and specifying details of the Landlord and Tenant Board hearing such as the date, time, and location. You will need to describe the hearing context, including the rental property address and the parties involved (applicant and respondent). It is essential to list documents and items the summoned person must bring to the hearing. Legal professionals must complete and file this form alongside a Request for the LTB to Issue a Summons form, ensuring it is signed by an LTB member before serving. The summoned individual is advised on their entitlement to fees and who to contact for further inquiries. Always follow the specific guidelines for service and prepare any additional documents as required.
