Practice question
A clerk prepares a signed and sealed original summons with the complaint and a guardian-ad-litem appointment order attached. The copy delivered for service omits both attachments. A clerk argues that attaching them to the original alone fulfills §2. Which is correct?
- Section2 requires the attachments to the original and each copy; keeping them only with the original does not satisfy that requirement.
- Only the original ever needs attachments.
- A guardian-ad-litem order must never accompany summons.
- The server may replace the complaint with an oral description.
- A case title is a complete substitute for the complaint.
