A default judgment occurs in Illinois civil cases when the Defendant has been properly served with a complaint and summons and has failed to file an answer to the complaint by the first court date or to appear in court for the first court date. A default judgment can also occur later in the case if the Defendant ceases to participate in required court dates or other court requirements.
A default judgment grants the relief sought in the plaintiff’s complaint against the defendant and is enforceable just like a judgment order that is entered after a trial. After a default judgment is entered, the plaintiff is required to send notice of the judgment to the party that has been defaulted. #defaultjudgment,
