We know that the external office hours of general state agencies and government departments are basically Monday to Friday. On weekends or holidays, although it is possible to arrange staff on duty, they generally will not handle normal business. The court is no exception. Generally, the court will not accept cases even if you go to the court on weekends. Therefore, you can sue on the weekend, but you cannot not sue because the court is not open.
Courts usually do not hold sessions on Sundays, and usually hold sessions during working hours from Monday to Friday. The court does not hold court sessions on holidays, but will hold court sessions during working hours, and will not hold court sessions during non-working hours. If the court is willing, the court can be held on weekends if there are special times such as busy work at the end of the year. Court hearing: refers to the litigation activities in which the people's court conducts substantive hearings on the case in court within a determined date, with the participation of the parties and other litigation participants, and in accordance with legal procedures and forms.
Do I need to hire a lawyer to litigate?
1. Whether you need to hire a lawyer in court for civil litigation depends on the circumstances. If the case is relatively simple, your evidence is relatively sufficient, and you are familiar with the litigation procedures, you do not need to hire a lawyer; on the contrary, you should hire a lawyer. A better lawyer can protect your rights to the maximum extent possible.
2. Of course, the law does not stipulate the necessity of hiring a lawyer, so please do not hire one yourself.
