Legal analysis
You don't have to sign the subpoena yourself. If the addressee is a citizen, I will not give it to his adult family to sign for it; If the addressee is a legal person or other organization, it shall be signed by the legal representative of the legal person, the principal responsible person of other organizations or the responsible person of the legal person or organization; If the addressee has an agent ad litem, he may send it to his agent for signature; If the addressee appoints an agent, it shall send it to the agent for signature. The date of delivery is the date when the adult family members, legal persons or other organizations of the addressee are responsible for receiving and the litigation agent or agent signs for it. The service mode of court summons is as follows: direct service, also known as service, refers to the service mode in which the people's court sends a special person to directly serve the litigation documents to the addressee for signature. Direct delivery is the most basic mode of delivery. In other words, everything that can be served directly should be served directly to prevent the delay of litigation and ensure the smooth progress of litigation procedures. Lien service means that when the addressee refuses to serve the litigation documents unreasonably, the addressee places the litigation documents at the addressee's residence according to law, which has the legal effect of service. Entrusted service means that when the people's court in charge of hearing civil cases has difficulty in directly serving litigation documents, it entrusts other people's courts to serve them on its behalf according to law. Entrusted service and direct service have the same legal effect. Service by post means that the people's court sends the documents served to the addressee by registered mail through the post office. Practice shows that court mail service is usually a way of service when the addressee's residence is far from the court and it is difficult to deliver it directly.
