The Vermont Notice of Action & Request for Waiver of Service of Summons is a legal document used to initiate a civil lawsuit in the state of Vermont. It is used to formally notify the defendant of the lawsuit, and to request that they waive service of the summons and answer the complaint without having to be served. The document must be signed by the plaintiff or their attorney and must include the plaintiff’s name and address, the defendant’s name and address, the case number, and a brief description of the case. There are two types of Vermont Notice of Action & Request for Waiver of Service of Summons — the Original Notice of Action & Request for Waiver of Service of Summons and the Notice of Action & Request for Waiver of Service of Summons (Amended). The Original Notice is used to initiate the lawsuit and should be served on the defendant at the same time the complaint is filed. The Amended Notice is used to notify the defendant of any changes to the complaint or to the action taken by the plaintiff.
