IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PLAINTIFF

INFORMATION FOR PLAINTIFF AND DEFENDANT
ABOUT REPRESENTATION BY AN ATTORNEY
Although you may represent yourself at any hearing during these proceedings, you may wish to
consult with or be represented by an attorney. If you hire an attorney to represent you, your
attorney is required to tell the Court and the other party that they will be representing you. Both
parties have the right to receive “notice” before any hearing that the opposing party will be
represented by an attorney. The Vermont Rules of Civil Procedure require that such notice must be
given to the opposing party or their attorney in person, by telephone, or in writing and it must be
given far enough in advance of the hearing to permit them to hire an attorney too. If you do not
provide such notice to the opposing party, and if the party without an attorney asks, the Court will
postpone the hearing for a reasonable time to allow the unrepresented party to obtain an attorney.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR DEFENDANT
At the hearing to be held on the date and time specified on the face of this notice, the Court will
decide on whether to issue or deny a final order. After the hearing, an order may be issued, which
may remain in effect for a defined period of time, which will be stated on the order. If you fail to
appear at the hearing, an order may be issued against you granting the Plaintiff’s requests for relief
as the Court deems appropriate.
