• W103928338 abstract "Default judgments are an integral part of civil practice. Attractive because they provide parties with spoils of successful litigation without hassle of actually litigating controversies, default judgments are desired commodity. (1) CPLR 3215 establishes procedure that plaintiff (2) must follow to procure default judgment; one component of plaintiffs application for default judgment is ... of facts constituting (3) What if plaintiff seeking default judgment fails to submit proof of facts of its claim, but default judgment is nonetheless rendered against defaulting defendant? Is that judgment void and therefore nullity, allowing defendant to have it vacated at any time simply on request? Or, can plaintiffs failure to submit proof of facts of its be overlooked? Whether plaintiffs failure to submit sufficient proof of its on its application for default judgment renders judgment nullity has important consequences in practice, yet this issue is unsettled: A split exists among departments of appellate division as to whether default judgment entered in absence of proof of is nullity, and Court of Appeals has yet squarely to resolve point. This article reviews default judgment statute; examines requirement that plaintiff submit proof of facts of its claim; and surveys case law regarding consequences of plaintiffs failure to submit sufficient proof of its claim. I. CPLR 3215--THE DEFAULT JUDGMENT STATUTE CPLR 3215 permits plaintiff to seek default judgment against defaulting defendant, (4) but requires plaintiff to do so within one year of default. (5) Where the plaintiffs is for certain or for which can by computation be made certain, plaintiffs application for default judgment may be made to clerk of court. (6) Only narrow class of claims may be submitted to clerk. In this regard, statute contemplates a situation in which ... there can be no dispute as to amount due, as in actions on money judgments and negotiable instruments. (7) Thus, causes of action seeking unliquidated damages--such as torts (8)--or equitable relief (9) do not fall within that reserved class. If complaint (or summons with notice) asserts any other than one for sum certain, plaintiffs application for default judgment must be made to court. (10) The plaintiff must, regardless of type of involved, submit following on its application for default judgment: (1) proof of service of initiatory papers on defendant; (2) of facts constituting claim and, if damages are sought, amount due; and (3) proof of default. (11) As to items one and three, process server's affidavit demonstrates proof of service of summons and complaint or summons with notice, (12) and proof of default should be supplied by plaintiffs attorney because attorney, rather than client, generally has firsthand knowledge of default. (13) As to item two, proof of must be supplied by someone with personal knowledge of facts underlying claim. (14) The individual providing firsthand factual account of should submit an affidavit (or, where appropriate, an affirmation) (15) that, along with any other evidence submitted in support of application for default judgment, demonstrates enough facts to enable court to determine that viable cause of action exists. (16) Stated differently, plaintiff must provide firsthand confirmation of facts establishing each element of and make prima facie showing that defaulting defendant is liable. (17) In gauging sufficiency of plaintiffs proof on an application for default judgment, court must keep in mind that (1) where defendant defaulted in appearing or answering action, plaintiff has not had benefit of discovery, and (2) defaulters are deemed to have admitted all factual allegations contained in complaint and all reasonable inferences that flow from them. …" @default.
