This Rule 55(a) requires that the Court enter all judgments by default and preserves Circuit Rule 15. Federal Rule 55(b) permits the Clerk to enter judgments by default for sums certain, if there has been no appearance, and if the defendant is not a minor or incompetent person; and that provision was deleted.
(7) a reply to an answer if ordered by the court. (b) Motions. A request for an order must be made by motion. The motion must be in writing unless made during a hearing or trial, must state the relief requested, and must state the grounds for the relief requested.
No judgment by default shall be entered against the state of Utah or against an officer or agency thereof unless the claimant establishes his claim or right to relief by evidence satisfactory to the court.
If one or both parties believe there is a clerical mistake in a judgment or order, they can file a Motion to Correct Clerical Mistake under Utah Rule of Civil Procedure 60(a). The general process is for one party to file the motion and send a copy to the other party.
A Motion to Set Aside Default or Judgment is used to ask the court to set aside or "undo" a default, judgment or final order in a case, and to allow the case to move ahead as if the default or judgment had not been made. A military service member has special rights to set aside a default judgment.
A default judgment must not differ in kind from, or exceed in amount, what is demanded in the pleadings. Every other judgment should grant the relief to which each party is entitled, even if the party has not demanded that relief in its pleadings.
Utah Rule of Civil Procedure 55(b) and Utah Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b) specify the reasons a default or judgment may be set aside: mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect; newly discovered evidence which could not have been discovered in time to move for a new trial under Rule 59(b);
The court shall grant summary judgment if the moving party shows that there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. The court should state on the record the reasons for granting or denying the motion.
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.
Set aside: When a court says that another court's decision is wrong, they can set it aside. This means that the decision is no longer valid. It's like erasing it. This happens a lot when someone appeals a decision. It can also happen when a lower court makes a mistake.
