Section PRP.05.25 — Action Upon Filing Complaint

When a complaint is filed in the Tribal Court, it must be immediately presented to a Tribal Court Judge. This must be on the date of filing, or, if no judge is present, on the first regular Court day after filing or when a judge may first be found. The judge must review the complaint and must, if it appears to be in compliance with Section PRP.05.24, issue an order of the Court requiring the defendant named in the complaint to appear before the Court on a certain date to contest the complaint. The date for appearance of answering the complaint must be no less than three (3) calendar days after the date of the order in matters involving a nuisance or injuries provided in Section PRP.05.16(c) or ten (10) calendar days in all other cases.
