Title
Challenging a Default Judgment
Definition
Legal issues related to asking a court to undo or reopen a default judgment entered against a person, usually because they did not respond to a lawsuit or appear in court. This includes motions to set aside or vacate a default judgment based on improper service, excusable neglect, lack of notice, mistake, fraud, or other legal grounds. It may involve strict deadlines, required evidence, and showing a valid defense to the original claim.
