What is another word for default judgment?
Pronunciation: [dɪfˈɒlt d͡ʒˈʌd͡ʒmənt] (IPA) 
Default judgment refers to a decision made by a court against a party who has failed to respond or appear in court. Synonyms for default judgment include default ruling, judgment by default, decision by default, and judgment in default. All of these phrases convey the same meaning and describe the legal outcome of a situation where one party fails to fulfill their legal obligations. When a default judgment is entered, the party who failed to respond or appear is considered to have forfeited their right to advance their case. This makes it imperative for all parties to stay current with court proceedings and respond in a timely manner, so as to avoid a default judgment.
