Minnesota Instructions — Demand for Notice is a legal document used in Minnesota state courts that informs a defendant of a legal action taken against them. This document outlines the details of the complaint and the court in which the matter will be heard, as well as the time and place of any court proceedings. It also includes a form for the defendant to use to acknowledge receipt of the document. There are two types of Minnesota Instructions — Demand for Notice: civil and criminal. The civil version is used when a plaintiff is suing a defendant, while the criminal version is used when a defendant is being charged with a crime. Both versions require the defendant to sign and return the document within 10 days of receiving it, or else face legal action.
