Description

The Set Aside Form with Decimals is a legal document used by defendants to request the court to overturn an entry of default and a subsequent default judgment. This form is particularly useful for defendants who missed deadlines due to mistakes or unforeseen circumstances, allowing them to present their case rather than being barred from doing so. Key features of the form include sections for the details of the complaint, service of process dates, and claims of excusable neglect. When filling out the form, defendants should clearly state their reasons for seeking to set aside the judgment and ensure all dates and names are accurately recorded. It is essential to file the motion within a specific timeframe, and the defendant must provide a certificate of service to demonstrate that the plaintiff's attorney has been notified. Target users, such as attorneys, partners, and paralegals, benefit from this form as it streamlines the process of addressing default judgments while ensuring compliance with court rules. Legal assistants can support clients by guiding them through the completion and submission processes, providing clarity on the required documentation.
