If a summons for appearance on a court date is issued by means other than service of a writ of summons and notification of a court date to the person who has appeared for the relevant case, no legal sanction nor any other disadvantage associated with the failure to comply with the court date may be assigned to the person who does not appear on that court date; provided, however, that this does not apply if the person has submitted a paper document indicating receipt of the summons to appear on that court date.
