General Information:

The court date on the summons is not a trial date, but the date by which the complaint must be answered, either by payment or a personal appearance in court.

Failing to appear or answer your complaint or summons will result in further action by the court. On Mandatory Court appearances a warrant would issue and a bail amount assessed. On payable violations a Failure to Appear Notice will be sent to the defendant with an additional $10.00 penalty assessed to the amount due. If you do not respond to the Failure to Appear notice a warrant will be issued and a bail amount assessed and your driving privileges will be suspended in the State of New Jersey and 44 other states.

Posting of bail on a complaint or summons does not mean the complaint is satisfied. The bail is to assure your appearance in court. On some matters you may be able to sign a bail waiver. Please contact the court if you have any questions. Failing to appear in court after posting bail will result in the bail being forfeited and a new warrant issuing.

The Court will provide an interpreter if one is needed.
