Code r. 1037. Rule 1037 - Judgment Upon Default or Admission (a) If an action is not commenced by a complaint, the prothonotary, upon praecipe of the defendant, shall enter a rule upon the plaintiff to file a complaint.
A default prove up hearing occurs when the defendant has failed to respond to the plaintiff's complaint within the specified time frame. As a result, the defendant is considered to be in default, and the hearing is held to determine the appropriate judgment in favor of the plaintiff.
File the original and both copies with the Clerk. Complete the rest of this guide when you are ready to request the judgment. Your deadline is within 45 days after entry of default, unless you ask the court for an extension.
A clerk default judgment may be obtained when the defendant fails to file a response to the summons and complaint within the time specified on the summons.
(g) Request for entry of default If a responsive pleading is not served within the time limits specified in this rule and no extension of time has been granted, the plaintiff must file a request for entry of default within 10 days after the time for service has elapsed.
If the court sent a Notice of Entry of Default If the court has your address, the clerk mails you a Notice of Entry of Default. If they sent this, you must file and serve the request to set aside within 180 days from the date you were served that notice.
Generally, if a defendant fails to respond to a complaint you can get a default judgment after 45 days. However, the court system is very slow these days and it can take several months to get the court to issue the default judgment.
In this process, a judge (rather than a clerk) determines how much the plaintiff can collect after reviewing the amount requested by the plaintiff, which may require a court hearing. Once the default prove-up process is finished and a ruling by the judge is provided, the case is complete.
Generally speaking, in a default hearing, you will get everything that you asked for that is allowable under the law. When the other side chooses not to respond, the court has the discretion to award relief on every issue that you requested. Keep in mind that they cannot give you something that the law does not allow.
