Wisconsin Default Judgment is a court order that legally binds a defendant in a civil case who has not responded to a summons or complaint. This type of judgment may be granted when a defendant in a civil case has failed to respond to a summons and complaint in a timely manner, or when a defendant has failed to appear in court for a hearing. The court may award damages to the plaintiff and grant other remedies such as the enforcement of a contract or foreclosure of a mortgage. There are two types of Wisconsin Default Judgment: Motion for Default Judgment and Clerk's Default Judgment. A Motion for Default Judgment is when the plaintiff files a motion in the court requesting a default judgment against the defendant. The court will then examine the motion and issue an order granting a default judgment if there is sufficient evidence that the defendant has not responded to the summons or complaint. In contrast, a Clerk's Default Judgment is when the court clerk enters a judgment against the defendant based on the plaintiff's affidavit and other documents. This type of judgment does not require a court hearing.
