In a legal context, when there are two defendants in a judgment, it typically means that both individuals are being held liable for the same offense or claim in a court case. The judgment can address the actions of each defendant separately or jointly, depending on the circumstances. This can result in shared liability for damages or separate penalties imposed by the court. The outcomes for each defendant can vary based on their individual roles and defenses in the case.
Check with the court that issued the judgment and ask how you can have the lien recorded in the land records.
This means that the defendants have an opportunity to make payment before the judgement is to be satisfied by the court officers. The person who lost the suit can pay before the judgement before their property starts being forfeited to settle the debt.
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.
No.
No, defendants may file a motion for judgment on the pleadings as well.See: Corder v. Lewis Palmer School Dist. No. 38, 568 F.Supp.2d 1237 (D.Colo. 2008).
Either file a motion to amend the pleading to read correctly, or present proof to the court that the two defendants are NOT, in fact, married.
The plural of defendant is defendants. The plural possessive of defendants is defendants'
After death, two judgments occur: the particular judgment, which is the immediate judgment of the soul by God, and the final judgment, which is the judgment of all souls at the end of time.
It is customarily not allowed because the interests of the two defendants may, at some point, not be the same, and a single attorney would have a conflict of interest in attempting to defend two defendants with different interests.
Defenadnt'S is singular but "defendants" is plural.
A plaintiff starts a lawsuit by filing a complaint and serving the complaint and summons on the defendant (or defendants). If the defendant does not answer the complaint or otherwise respond to the suit, the plaintiff make request a "default judgment." This means, more or less, "the defendant has not responded and the court should therefore grant what I sought in the complaint." Usually, a default judgment will be restricted to the relief sought in the complaint and will be restricted to amounts that are reasonably calculable. For example, say somebody hit you with their car, and you sued for $100,000 in medical bill. If the defendant ignores the lawsuit, the plaintiff will request a default judgment, and the court will likely grant them a $100,000 judgment. The plaintiff will then take the judgment to (most often) the county sheriff's department, which will then seize a defendants property to be sold to pay the judgment; or plaintiff can seek other remedies, like garnishment of wages. Lesson: don't ignore lawsuits. That's how you lose for sure.
It is actually spelled "judgment," and there are two syllables in this word.
