Order to Show cause by Jennie (NYS ) on October 23, 2016 @14:48

I received a judgement against my tenant..
The court had change the date of the trial to an earlier date. I received the notice from the court thru regular first class mail a month before the scheduled court date. I was present at the court date and tenant was not present.iI was issued a default judgement. He received the judgement and now has ask the courts fo vacate the default judgement? What happens now ?

In our great country, everyone has a right to appeal a court's decision. If your T did not show up for the court date, because he did not receive the change of date notice from the court system, then he SHOULD appeal. What if it were the other way around, and you didn't get the change of date notice, but your T did. The T would have shown up, and you would not, so the T would have won. You will now need to go to the new court date, and prove your case all over again. By the way, the T will have to give a VERY good reason as to why he didn't receive the notice of the date change, especially if the notice of the judgement against him was sent to the same address as the date change notice was, and he received IT.
