The Delaware 3114 Summons is a document issued by the Delaware Court of Chancery when a lawsuit is filed in the Court of Chancery. It is the legal document that informs the defendant of the lawsuit and its purpose and serves to initiate the litigation process. There are two types of Delaware 3114 Summons: Original Summons and Amended Summons. Original Summons is served on the defendant when the complaint is initially filed in the Court of Chancery. Amended Summons is served when a complaint is amended or supplemented after the original summons has been served. Both types of Delaware 3114 Summons require the defendant to file an answer or other responsive pleading within 20 days of the service of the summons.
