New Jersey Final Judgment for Sum Certain and Costs is a court ruling that orders the defendant to pay a specific sum of money to the plaintiff. This type of judgment is typically issued after a trial or other court proceedings. It is also known as a money judgment and is a legally binding agreement that establishes the plaintiff’s right to receive a certain amount of money from the defendant. The amount of money listed in the judgment is referred to as the “sum certain.” In addition to the sum certain, the court can also order the defendant to pay costs associated with the proceedings, such as court filing fees, attorney’s fees, and other costs. There are two types of New Jersey Final Judgment for Sum Certain and Costs: Default Judgment and Compromise Judgment. A Default Judgment is issued when the defendant fails to appear or respond to the court proceedings, while a Compromise Judgment is issued when the parties reach an agreement outside of court.
