I didn't understand the Default Judgement (is that like bankruptcy?).

I didn't understand the Default Judgement (is that like bankruptcy?).

A default judgement may be entered by the judge against the defendant when the defendant is properly served with the lawsuit but does not appear in court to defend the claims. You must be given an opportunity to be heard in court, but if you do not appear, you lose. Judges hate to enter default judgements, because the judge wants the case to end with both sides participating.

In this case, it appears that WOTC had damages and attorneys fees that could be directly shown to be the result of the defaulting defendant's actions. In a civil action, the standard is only "more likely than not." If you don't appear to argue your case, then your not likely to win on close issues, like the likelihood your actions caused the damages.

My brother's got a fair amount of talent with anything musical, and is teaching himself banjo (to complement his guitar, bass, keyboards, writing and singing). This song's got a bit of banjo in it . . . especially nice for the last minute or so.
