Court signs default judgment order in favor of Velocity Investments in collection case
Summary
Judge Hayward granted the plaintiff’s request for default judgment in Velocity Investments v. Samuel Hall after plaintiff presented affidavits and business records supporting liquidated damages.
The court granted Velocity Investments’ motion for default judgment against Samuel Hall after the plaintiff presented business records and an affidavit supporting liquidated damages.
Why it matters: a signed default judgment allows the plaintiff to pursue collection and enforcement remedies against the defendant for the damages proved at hearing.
At the Jan. 15 calendar, Allison Richards appeared for the plaintiff and said she submitted the required business-record affidavits in support of the motion for default judgment. The court found the plaintiff had presented the necessary information and that the defendant had not appeared; Judge Hayward said the court would sign the proposed order provided by plaintiff counsel.
Court action: the court announced it would sign the proposed default-judgment order on the record and directed plaintiff counsel to send a final order to the clerk for signature and distribution. The transcript records no contested evidentiary testimony at that hearing.
Next steps: the clerk will enter the signed order and circulate it to counsel; plaintiff may then pursue collection as permitted by law.
