citação prévia/distribuição

English translation: order the service of process on the Defendant by mail, before the assignment of the case

01:00 Mar 1, 2013
Portuguese to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / Law suit for damage indemnity
Portuguese term or phrase: citação prévia/distribuição
"Para tanto, requer a V. Exa. se digne ordenar a citação prévia da Ré por via postal, antes da distribuição, para contestar."

This sentence is at the end of the legal brief (in the last paragraph), and it summarizes what the lawyer is asking from the judge. In this case, an importer company is requesting that the transporter reimburse them for damages done to transported goods. What is a "citação prévia"? And what is "distribuição"?
