Synopsis
The court overturned a default judgment against a tenant who failed to respond to a lawsuit for unpaid rent. The court found that the tenant had a potentially meritorious defense because the lease had already been cancelled by a prior eviction warrant. There is also public policy to decide cases on their merits, so the tenant was allowed to defend against the lawsuit.
