Improper Notice of Service

**coburn23** · 03-12-2009, 03:10 PM

My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: North Carolina

I found out about a hearing that was held and he said we had to pay or move. I was not notified by the sherriff as i found out when i was at an attorneys offfice looking to make sure I only had the one court date coming up. The hearing had already happened and I went to the court house to find out what I could do and it said the sherriff left notice on the door! I was not understanding how a door can be served especially since we didn't get it. Thus someone said to file a 60 - not sure or a 12 but need to know if I can or does a lawyer have to do this.
Please advise since I thought you had to know about a hearing before you can be tried.

If you don't believe you were properly served, raise the issue with the court.

How would one file a motion against a TRO that was applied based on (deliberately ?) improper notification of the courtroom where the hearing was to be scheduled ? What forms would be needed and what subjects would have to be addressed ?

I put all details in this post:
