FAQ
If you do not think the default judgment was appropriately entered against you, you must file a motion with the court asking the judge to “set aside” (void or nullify) the judgment. If the judge grants your motion, the case starts back up again.
In other words, an appeal asks a higher court to review the decision, and a Motion to Vacate asks the lower court to reconsider the case.
A motion is an application to the court made by the prosecutor or defense attorney, requesting that the court make a decision on a certain issue before the trial begins. The motion can affect the trial, courtroom, defendants, evidence, or testimony. Only judges decide the outcome of motions.
The court must allow an application to set aside a default judgment if it has been 'wrongly entered' (CPR 13.2), and. In other circumstances, the court has discretion to, and may, set aside a default judgment (CPR 13.3).
Imagine you've taken someone to court, but they've ignored all proceedings. A motion for default judgment allows you to ask the court to automatically decide in your favor due to the other party's lack of response or action.
If the defendant has a valid reason for not responding, such as never being notified, they may file a motion asking the judge to set aside the default judgment. This is also called a motion for relief from default or a motion to vacate judgment.
The court may set aside a default judgment if the judge is satisfied that: The defendant has demonstrated that they have a real prospect of successfully defending the claim. It is important that the defendant provides details of the defence to the claim with the application, ideally in the form of a draft defence.
To vacate a default judgment in New York, the defendant must make an application to the court that rendered the judgment. In Nassau and Suffolk counties, this will most likely be either the District Court or the Supreme Court.
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.
