    Default what to expect in court

    Hi

    I have a small claims action going through with a car dealer. I got a judgement in default, but as it appears the court did not get the dealers defence, they are applying for it to be set asideicon. I have a date in court- but what does this all mean?

    If I lose the case overall- can the dealer come after me for anything? Grateful for any help

    Default Re: what to expect in court

    I had the same thing in Jan this year - got a judgement in default and they applied to have it put aside saying they had not got papers.

    Anyway I turn up and so do they (how dare they) and we go into a court basically I didn't have to say anything they got a grilling from the judge about why he should believe them that they didn't get the papers etc - in the end the judge said he thought it fairer on all parties that he put it aside and let it go to court fully so neither party could have recourse

    Anyway I'm back on 12th May and to be honest can't wait - convinced I'm gonna win.

    Small claims I believe means little or no costs if you lose - sure someone will clarify this though

    I am a layperson and have no legal training but I do have an iota of common sense (sometimes)

    Ah. They got the papers, but they are saying the court lost theirs when they were sent in.

    Default Re: what to expect in court

    depends if the court believes them all not - your role will be fairly minimal as it's basically gonna come down to if the judge believes them or not. If they didn't send it signed for and have no proof that will be frowned on by the court
