We treat the summons as the invitation to the party to help those who have the intent of settling the account honorably. If our assistance is not longer needed then we leave.
" I am here on that matter as invited guest, there is no proper notice here for threat and duress of non appearance I am here to help." The goal is to correct the mistake and make it a win win situation for everyone involved so that nobody is injured, as a peaceful inhabitant should do.
