Serve a tribunal summons without retyping witness and party details

Parties obtaining a summons under the Statutory Powers Procedure Act repeat witness names, addresses, hearing dates, and tribunal file references on every prescribed Form 1 summons package. This guide is an example of storing them once in hivi.

Official form and source

Start from the official source and always use the current version — form numbers and links can change:

• Service page: Statutory Powers Procedure Act — ontario.ca
• Form (Central Forms Repository): Form 1 - Summons — 004-0406

What this form is about
