This petition allows a person to challenge a court’s decision in a small claims case. It is also used to reopen a small claims case and ask the court to vacate or modify a judgment. The Wisconsin SC-511A Petition to Answer or to Reopen Small Claims Judgment is divided into two types: a “Petition to Answer” and a “Petition to Reopen.” A Petition to Answer is used if the respondent believes the court made a mistake in its ruling and wishes to challenge the decision. A Petition to Reopen is used if the respondent believes the court’s ruling was unjust and wishes to have the judgment vacated or modified. The petitioner must fill out the form, provide a statement of facts, and submit it to the court. The court will review the petition and decide whether to grant the request. If the petition is successful, the court may vacate or modify the judgment, or allow the respondent to answer the small claims' complaint.
