This document is issued by the court clerk, and it gives the plaintiff the right to collect on the judgment, regardless of whether the defendant has responded to the suit. The judgment is based on the plaintiff's claim and can include court costs, attorney's fees, and other damages. There are two types of Wisconsin Judgment by Default — Clerk: Default Judgment and Default Judgment with Contested Issues. A Default Judgment is issued when the defendant fails to respond to the summons or complaint, and the court decides the case based on the evidence presented by the plaintiff. A Default Judgment with Contested Issues is issued when the defendant contests some or all of the plaintiff's claims. In such cases, the court will decide the case after a hearing or trial.
