Summoned to appear in court for not cutting high weeds

[Kumar Gaurav]

Hello,

About two weeks back I received a warning letter from municipality that I need to cut them within a week and remove high weeds and tall grass from my front yard about 8ft x 2 ft area. It was unusual to receive that warning given they haven’t grown that much tall. I ensured to cut everything on the day I received that warning, it was not a clean shave but substantial enough.

Next I got a rude shock summoning me to the court for failing to cut and remove high weeds and tall grass and they are no way tall and it’s impossible to grow tall only within a week.

This never happened to me before and will be very interested to see if the complainer shares any pictures. What is the best way to handle this situation and defend myself. Appreciate your inputs.

Thanks

My guess was you were supposed to correct it and call the issuing agency or submit proof of correction within the week. Show up to court with the photos and tell them what day you cut the weeds on.
