Connecticut Motion To Open Judgment (Civil Matters Other Than Small Claims And Housing Matters) is a court filing used to ask the court to reopen a case or judgment that has already been decided. This type of motion is typically used to ask the court to reconsider a judgment, to add or remove parties from a judgment, or to modify the terms of the judgment. There are two types of Connecticut Motion To Open Judgment (Civil Matters Other Than Small Claims And Housing Matters): Motion to Open Default Judgment and Motion to Open Final Judgment. A Motion to Open Default Judgment is used when a party has not responded to a complaint in a timely manner, and the court has entered a default judgment against the party. A Motion to Open Final Judgment is used when a party has been found liable for a claim and a judgment has been issued against the party. Both motions allow a party to ask the court to reconsider a judgment and potentially modify or set aside the judgment.
