Case Reopening In Alabama

Summary

In Alabama, when a case is reopened, the defendant must be served notice, which can be done by a sheriff, private process server, or certified mail. If the defendant can prove they didnt receive the notice, they may not be held responsible for not showing up. The court will decide on this matter. If a civil case is reopened after being dismissed due to the plaintiff not showing up, it doesnt necessarily make the defendant look better. The court will consider the reasons for the previous dismissal and review the case based on the presented evidence and arguments. Failure to communicate court dates can be grounds to reopen a dismissed case, depending on the judges discretion and specific circumstances. Legal representation is advised.
