Friday failed to take seriously a lawsuit filed against him by Ranger. He completely ignored the papers describing the case and the request made by Ranger's attorney directing him to appear in court and answer the allegations made by Ranger. Because of
Friday's course of action, Ranger's attorney entered the proper papers in court allowing the case to proceed on evidence presented by Ranger alone. Friday claims that this procedure by Ranger's attorney was improper, since he (Friday) was not given the opportunity to defend himself in court. Is Friday correct?
No. A person who fails to acknowledge a summons and complaint issued by the plaintiff gives the plaintiff the right to a judgment by default, which means that Ranger could then proceed to prove his case in court and could, if successful, receive monetary damages. The judge would make a decision based solely on the evidence presented by Ranger's attorney. Friday would not be able to present evidence on his behalf.
