FAQ
You Can Lose By Default: If you don't file a response 30 days after you were served, the Plaintiff can file a form called “Request for Default”. The Plaintiff has to wait 30 days to file this. If the Plaintiff files this form, the Court can enter a judgment against you. The Plaintiff will win the case.
Good practice requires a timely acknowledgement of a complaint. The experience of customers in other sectors shows that a response within two working days increases their confidence in a complaint handling process.
The Defendant's Answer Under federal rules, defendants generally have 21 days to file an answer after they are served with a complaint; the U.S. government has 60 or 90 days, depending on whether it has waived service.
Unless the summons and complaint are accepted, a copy of the summons and complaint in an action commenced under Rule 3(a)(1), must be served no later than 120 days after the complaint is filed, unless the court orders a different period under Rule 6.
Time to Respond In most cases, if the defendant is served in Utah, they must file their answer within 21 calendar days after the date of service. If the defendant is served outside Utah, they must file an answer within 30 calendar days after service.
