If a court summons for a criminal case has a wrong address and isn’t delivered on time, will the court issue a new summons with the right address or an arrest warrant? Also, how many summons can be issued before an arrest warrant is considered? Is it the responsibility of the local police to ensure the summons is delivered on time, even with a wrong address, or can they return it as undelivered?

If a summons has a wrong address, the court can issue a new summons with the correct address. There’s no fixed number of summons before an arrest warrant is considered. The local police are responsible for delivering the summons and can return it as undelivered if they are unable to locate the accused, even with a wrong address.
