The form also contains an affidavit which supports the allegations made by the plaintiff. Georgia Application for Entry of Default is a legal document used in the state of Georgia to request that the court enter a default judgment against a party who has failed to respond or appear in a lawsuit. This application is often filed by the party who initiated the lawsuit, known as the plaintiff, when the opposing party, known as the defendant, fails to respond within the specified time frame required by law. An Affidavit is usually attached to the Application for Entry of Default. This sworn statement provides evidence to support the plaintiff's claim that the defendant has failed to respond or appear in court. The Affidavit often includes details such as the date the lawsuit was filed, the date the defendant was served with the lawsuit, and any other relevant information demonstrating the defendant's lack of response. The Motion for Entry of Default is another legal document that the plaintiff may file along with the Application for Entry of Default. This motion requests that the court formally enter an order of default against the defendant. It lays out the reasons why the defendant should be held in default and requests that the court proceed with entering a default judgment. Once the court grants the Application for Entry of Default and Motion for Entry of Default, the court will issue an Entry of Default. This document officially acknowledges that the defendant has been held in default and that the plaintiff can proceed to seek a default judgment. A Default Judgment is the final outcome of the application process. It is a formal decision made by the court in favor of the plaintiff due to the defendant's failure to respond or appear. This judgment usually grants the plaintiff the relief requested in the lawsuit, such as monetary damages or other remedies sought. Different types of Georgia Application for Entry of Default, Affidavit, Motion, Entry of Default, and Default Judgment may exist depending on the nature of the lawsuit or the court's specific requirements. However, the general purpose and procedure of these documents remain consistent — to address cases where a defendant fails to respond or appear, resulting in a default judgment in favor of the plaintiff.
