An Arizona Small Claims Objection to Hearing Officer is a formal written document submitted to a hearing officer in response to a scheduled hearing. This document outlines the reasons why a party objects to a hearing officer’s decision or ruling. This objection can involve a variety of issues, such as jurisdiction, discovery, admissibility of evidence, or other procedural matters. There are two types of Arizona Small Claims Objection to Hearing Officer: a Motion to Reconsider or Motion to Vacate, and a Motion to Set Aside Default Judgment. A Motion to Reconsider or Motion to Vacate is a formal written request to the hearing officer to reconsider a previous decision or ruling. This objection must be filed prior to the date of the hearing and must include the reasons why the party believes the decision should be reconsidered. A Motion to Set Aside Default Judgment is a formal written request to the hearing officer to set aside a default judgment. This objection must be filed within thirty days of the date of the default judgment and must include the reasons why the party believes the judgment should be set aside.
