summons Explanation: Dans la mesure où une assignation est une invitation à comparaître et non un ordre, il ne peut s’agir d’un « subpoena » et se traduit donc par « summons » tout court. « Writ of summons » et le document par lequel une action en justice est mise en route. http://www.net-iris.com/practical/tools/glossaire.php3?lette... Assignation - Acte de procédure qui permet à une personne (le demandeur) d'informer son adversaire (le défendeur) qu'elle engage un procès contre lui et l'invite à comparaître devant une juridiction.
