If the summons was sent out to you, but with the wrong spelling of the name, even the wrong address they will just say it is an 'administrative error'. Sorry, but the summons will still apply. You have the option on the rear of the summons to plead 'not guilty' if the summons gives you a pre-determined court date where you do not need to attend court in person. (i.e. the alleged offence will be heard in your absence and sentence passed.) It will be in the recipients interest to get the summons amended to show the correct details.

NO.If the Summons is for the person who receives it and is incorrect in its particulars, the recipient should return the documents to the Court as 'not known'. Of course, a new one might appear on the doorstep in due course.
If the document has been delivered to an address not occupied by the addressee do the same thing and no further communication would be sent.

Technically no, even if there is a slight spelling mistake, you can say it isnt for you. But if you have a court summons, and you know it is for you, do not bury your head in the sand, just go, and sort it out. If you start playing games, they will be more harsh on you.

No it is not legal but it doesnt bar them from issuing a new one.
