Synopsis

In this HP proceeding, a default order and money judgment had been entered against Respondent-owners before they appeared by counsel. The court vacated the default judgment, finding Respondent-owners presented a reasonable excuse for their non-appearance and a meritorious defense. The court reaffirmed the April 2025 order to correct and allowed Respondent-owners to file a late answer.
