      Depending on your Causes of Action, the Bankruptcy case may stop collection against that person. You would want to consult a bankruptcy attorney to see if you have any rights in the Bankruptcy case. If the other person is not answering, you can move for a default judgment. Just make sure to follow the rules of your locality in doing so.

    what if the default judgement was granted and the defendant has to pay? Can they still fight it. what's the point of the default if it can be vacated.

      In NY a default Judgment can be vacated by motion within 1 year of the default being granted if the Defendant can show that 1. they have a reasonable excuse for the default and 2. they have a meritorious defense to the claims against them.

      So basically there is no winning, because someone can simply wait until the end, then come and interrupt everything by questioning the judgment, & then delay some more, in which case the complaint will be losing more money. It seems like the court system favors defendants more than anything

      You can always write that it is not timely. But I don't know the specific laws of your area.

    what if a default judgment is denied by the court and a defendant hasn't responded, does this mean the case if rule in favor of the denial or does the defendant still need to respond?

    • @jdelawfirm8388
      @jdelawfirm8388  ปีที่แล้ว

      What was the reason for the denial? Was the denial given with a right to reapply for the default?

    If a case has multiple defendants (let’s use four as an example) but only one responds can you still file for a default judgement ?

    • @jdelawfirm8388
      @jdelawfirm8388  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You can file for a default against the remaining 3. The Judge most likely won't apportion the monetary damages until after you get a result against the answering member though.
