Default judgments happen when you don't respond to a lawsuit — and a judge resolves the case without hearing your
(billy's) side. In effect, you're (billy is) found guilty because you never entered a defense. Default judgments are sometimes called automatic judgments because of how fast they can happen.
A default judgment is a ruling granted by a court or judge. Default judgments arise in circumstances whereby one party to a suit (billy) has failed to perform a court-ordered action, and subsequently that failure (billy) has not only prevented the issue from being presented before the court but also results in the court settling the legal dispute in favor of the compliant party (uoip shareholders). For example, when a defendant is summoned to appear before the court in a case brought by a plaintiff, but (billy) fails to respond to the court's legal order, the judge can rule for default judgment and thereby decide the case in the
plaintiff's favor (uoip shareholders). The defendant, though not present before the court, is obligated to abide by the court's ruling for default judgment and subject to any and all punishment requested by the court.
After filing a motion for default, you will get a hearing date and time from the court clerk.. .
At the hearing, the judge will decide to grant or deny the motion. If the judge grants your motion, the default or a default judgment will be set aside, and the case will move forward.
