The Wisconsin SC-5160 Publication Notice and Summons is a legal document used in Wisconsin court proceedings. It is issued to individuals who have been named as defendants in a civil lawsuit and are required to appear in court. The document includes the name of the court, the case number, the names of the parties involved, the date and time of the hearing, and the name of the presiding judge. The document also informs the defendant of their rights to appear in court, the consequences of failing to appear, and any other important information such as the name of the plaintiff's attorney. There are two types of Wisconsin SC-5160 Publication Notice and Summons: Summons and Complaint, and Summons and Notice of Hearing. The Summons and Complaint is used to notify the defendant of the legal action taken against them, while the Summons and Notice of Hearing is used to notify the defendant of the date and time of the hearing.
