[WSBARP] Appearance

[Tom Westbrook]

Bryce, hard to imagine conflicting advise from attorneys………….so I’m happy
to chime in that I agree with Michael. Something about equity abhors a
forfeiture comes to mind and then Judges allowing late answers to terminate
ex parte orders of dismissal. Not worth the risk. Always give notice when
you can.



Sincerely,



Tom

In my opinion, default is so disfavored that the courts keep finding an
appearance if the person merely responds do your summons by contacting you.
In your case, I think it’s more certain they will find it as the person(s)
made an effort to cure. Mike

I have several HOA lien foreclosures where after service homeowner calls
and says they will make some payments but don’t does that constitute an
appearance where they are entitled to receive default pleadings and notice
of taking default. I have received conflicting advice form attys on this
subject and would like your collective take on the subject.
