A Virginia Notice of Hearing in an Adversary Proceeding or Contested Matter is a legal document that is issued by the court to notify parties involved in a contested action or dispute of the date and time of their upcoming hearing. This notice serves a dual purpose: informing the parties of the hearing and setting the date by which certain documents, such as pleadings or other papers, must be filed with the court. There are two types of Virginia Notice of Hearing in an Adversary Proceeding or Contested Matter: a notice of hearing on a motion and a notice of hearing on a trial. The notice of hearing on a motion informs the parties of the hearing date of a motion that has been filed with the court. The notice of hearing on a trial informs the parties of the hearing date of the trial. Both types of notices must include the date, time, and place of the hearing as well as the name of the court, the title of the case, the title of the motion or trial, and the name of the judge presiding.
