They will be charged with contempt of court.
The plaintiff will likely present a default judgment to the court, which the court will sign, granting the plaintiff everything requested in the complaint.
You lose. If the defendant doesn't show up for their notified court hearing, a default judgment will be made against them. If the plaintiff doesn't show up, the case will be dismissed. In the case of a defendant, the plaintiff will then go about collecting the award through garnishment of wages and placing liens on property.
The plaintiff wins the case by default and a judgment is entered against the defendant. A civil lawsuit summons is not a court order per se and therefore the defendant is not obligated to appear. An order of appearance from the court, interrogatories, depositions, discovery motions and so forth are different matters and the person(s) named should always respond. Legal counsel is always advisable in such matters.
If the defendant fails to appear in a civil court lawsuit, the plaintiff can motion the court for what is known as a default judgement. In laymen terms, they win. If the defendant shows up but the plaintiff did not, they can motion to have the case dismissed with prejudice. This means that the person who sued them cannot bring the same matter back to the courts again.
The Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment is asking the court to rule on all pleadings that have been filed in the case. This happens if one of the defendants has filed an response or answer. The Plaintiff will usually ask for judgment when filing a motion for summary judgment.
In a civil case, a judgment can be granted in part or in whole. If a plaintiff sues for $100, and the court finds in favor of the plaintiff, but does not believe the plaintiff is indebted the full $100, the court can grant judgment in part to the plaintiff of, say, $60.
wont' that be an appeal?
No, even if the plaintiff wins the case through arbitration they will still need to file a petition with the court of venue to receive a writ of judgment. On the other side, however, if the defendant fails to respond to a summons pertaining to a lawsuit or judgment he/she will lose by default and may not be able to claim any of their property exemptions.
Yes since you started the case, unless you intend to drop it entirely
In most cases, when a defendant does not appear, the judge will order summary judgment for the plaintiff. (In other words: if you don't show up, you automatically lose and the judgment will generally be the best possible for the other side and the worst possible for you.)
File a Motion to Quash This action relates to the validity of the judgment, non appearance is not a valid defense for having a judgment voided. If the defendant does not appear he or she loses by default and a judgment is entered in favor of the plaintiff.
The debtor is served a civil summons to appear the lawsuit hearing. If the debtor does not appear he or she loses the case by default and a judgment is entered in favor of the plaintiff 9creditor). If the debtor does appear and loses the case which is the normal scenario, a judgment is still entered in favor of the creditor. The creditor can then use the judgment to garnish wages or take action against other real and/or personal propety belonging to the debtor.
