Louisiana Judgment (Default) is a court judgment against a defendant in a lawsuit, when the defendant has not responded to the lawsuit or has failed to appear in court. This form of judgment is usually entered when a defendant has been served with a summons and complaint but has not responded in a timely manner. There are two types of Louisiana Judgment (Default): Contested Default Judgment and Uncontested Default Judgment. A Contested Default Judgment is entered when the defendant has filed an answer to the lawsuit but has been found to be in default on the merits of the case. An Uncontested Default Judgment is entered when the defendant has failed to respond to the lawsuit and the plaintiff is awarded the relief requested in the complaint.
