FAQ
You can not appeal a default judgment. If you did not appear in the local court for your case, you must file a motion with the local court to vacate the default judgment (CPLR § 5015 and § 5511). and Decision issued by the Justice Court (UJCA § 1703).
For that purpose the judgment debtor should approach the plaintiff/judgment creditor or his/her/its attorney to obtain the written consent to rescission of judgment. There is however no requirement in law that obliges a plaintiff/judgment creditor to give a consent to rescission of judgment.
A default prove up hearing occurs when the defendant has failed to respond to the plaintiff's complaint within the specified time frame. As a result, the defendant is considered to be in default, and the hearing is held to determine the appropriate judgment in favor of the plaintiff.
A defendant can challenge the entry of default by filing a motion pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(c), which allows the court to set it aside for “good cause” shown. Under certain circumstances, the court is required to do so.
Consider the following five approaches: Show that the motion fails to list the specific facts and law supporting summary judgment. Show that a dispute exists on a material fact. Show that the law does not support judgment on the undisputed facts.
Most Courts, including California, put strict time limits on when that motion may be filed (six months from entry of default in California though this time limit may be altered based on various factors) and the longer the period of time from entry of default, the harder it is to have the Court remove it.
A defendant who has a default judgment against them can apply to the court that issued the judgment to set it aside. If the court sets aside the judgment, it is as though the order was never made. The court still needs to deal with the claim.
In this process, a judge (rather than a clerk) determines how much the plaintiff can collect after reviewing the amount requested by the plaintiff, which may require a court hearing. Once the default prove-up process is finished and a ruling by the judge is provided, the case is complete.
