A John Doe summons is a legal document that is used when the name of the person being summoned is not known. It can be used in court cases or by the Internal Revenue Service to gather information about an unknown taxpayer. A summons is a notice that requires a person to appear in court as a juror or witness, or for a defendant to answer a plaintiff's claim. There are different types of summons, including alias summons, judgment summons, and short summons. Summoning someone means requesting their presence or information through a legal document.

A more thorough explanation:

A John Doe summons is a type of summons used when the name of the person being summoned is unknown at the time of service. It is a legal document that requires the recipient to appear in court or provide information related to a legal case.

  • A John Doe summons may be used in a lawsuit where the identity of the defendant is not yet known, such as in a case of hit-and-run accident.
  • In tax law, a John Doe summons may be issued by the Internal Revenue Service to a third party to provide information on an unnamed, unknown taxpayer with potential tax liability.
