Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Dear [Judge's Name], I am writing to respectfully submit a Default Judgment in the case of [Case Name and Number]. As per the Connecticut Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule XX, the defendant [Defendant's Name] has failed to respond to the complaint within the specified time frame, entitling the plaintiff [Plaintiff's Name] to seek a Default Judgment. The relevant facts of this case are as follows: [Provide a brief summary of the case, highlighting the necessary details and events leading up to this point.] Upon careful review of the evidence, exhibits, and legal arguments presented by the plaintiff, I assert that there is ample merit in granting a Default Judgment in favor of the plaintiff. The defendant's failure to respond within the stipulated time frame indicates a lack of intention to defend against the allegations, thus suggesting their acceptance of liability. Connecticut's law allows for the entry of a Default Judgment when a defendant fails to respond within 30 days from the date of service. In this case, the defendant was properly served with the summons and complaint on [date], and the deadline for response lapsed on [deadline date]. The defendant has chosen not to file an answer, appear in court, or assert any affirmative defenses. The requested relief sought by the plaintiff includes [List the specific relief sought by the plaintiff, such as monetary damages, injunctive relief, etc.]. The evidence provided and the available legal authorities strongly support the plaintiff's claims, and it is my belief that a Default Judgment is just and appropriate in this matter. In light of the defendant's failure to respond, I kindly request that you grant the Default Judgment, as allowed by the Connecticut Rules of Civil Procedure. The plaintiff has adequately demonstrated their entitlement to relief, and it is in the interest of justice that this matter receives a swift resolution. Moreover, in accordance with local court rules and procedures, I have attached the necessary documentation to support the request for a Default Judgment, including: 1. Certificate of Service: [Provide details of how the defendant was properly served, including the date and method of service.] 2. Affidavit of Default: [Include a sworn statement affirming that the defendant has failed to respond within the required time frame.] 3. Affidavit in Support of Default Judgment: [Attach a detailed affidavit outlining the plaintiff's claims, the defendant's failure to respond, and the requested relief.] By granting the Default Judgment, the court would not only ensure the fair administration of justice but also emphasize the importance of adhering to proper legal procedures. Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you require any additional information or documentation, please do not hesitate to contact me.
