A quick definition of short summons:

A short summons is a legal document that requires someone to appear in court. It is usually used when the person being summoned is not cooperating or is trying to avoid the court. The response time for a short summons is shorter than a regular summons, and it is often used for nonresident or fraudulent debtors.

A more thorough explanation:

A short summons is a type of legal document that requires a defendant to appear in court and respond to a plaintiff's claim. It is called a "short" summons because it has a response time that is shorter than that of an ordinary summons. This type of summons is usually served on a fraudulent or nonresident debtor.

For example, if a plaintiff believes that a debtor is trying to avoid paying a debt by moving out of state, they may request a short summons to be served on the debtor. The short summons would require the debtor to appear in court within a shorter time frame than an ordinary summons, making it more difficult for the debtor to avoid the legal process.

Short summons is just one type of summons. Other types include:

Overall, a short summons is a legal tool used to ensure that a defendant appears in court and responds to a plaintiff's claim within a shorter time frame than an ordinary summons.
