This is why you see cases where the bailiff calls the case; the defendant steps forward and explains the situation to the judge. In about 90% of these cases, the judge excuses the wrongfully served defendant.
What a system.

It really works when the wrongfully served defendant becomes the plaintiff, suing to recover legal costs. There was a story on 60 Minutes recently about a couple who lost a child in a mass shooting going to other mass shootings to counsel survivors, bla, bla, bla. In passing, the story mentioned that the couple sued the gun or gun accessory manufacturers for the wrongful death of their child and got stuck paying the defendant's legal bills, hundreds of thousands of dollars, and having to file bankruptcy.
