Description
MOTION TO VACATE DEFAULT JUDGMENT (REMOVE DEFAULT). This form is used in the Massachusetts Housing Court Division by a defendant who wishes to ask the court to cancel a default judgment that was previously entered against them. A default judgment typically occurs when a defendant fails to appear in court or respond to a complaint, and the court rules in favor of the plaintiff by default. By filing this motion, the defendant explains why they did not appear at the scheduled court event and presents their defenses or legal arguments against the claims made in the case. If the court grants the motion, the case may proceed to trial, potentially on the same day as the motion hearing. www.FormsWorkflow.com
