In standard litigation (i.e. not small claims) the time period may be as high as 35 days.

So if you set a time-out value to 45 seconds, it means that after 45 seconds, the computer will no longer wait and assume that whatever component or computer is defective or missing.

If the defendant does not respond to the lawsuit within the time period prescribed or does not show up to court on the day he or she is supposed to, the plaintiff will ask for (and the court will usually give) a default judgment.

A request for entry of default is when the time has passed for the defendant to respond to a lawsuit and the plaintiff is asking for a default judgment.
