I'm mystified that you get more than once chance to show up. In any event, take it to em, Seth.

I don't know how it works in Nueva York, but perfecting a Default Judgment in Texas is no easy feat. Even the smallest technical glitch in service or other procedural aspects will render it void.

I'm hoping sbm12 doesn't encounter any :rolleyes: trying to collect.

What a bunch of :rolleyes:

So lame. Anything you can do to further build your case in that time?

Not entirely true, at least in NYC. Here if the other party no-shows you still have to make a claim in front of an arbitrator and they can deny you though it is apparently very rare.

My initial claim was for $2500 based on the cost to replace the tix. With this delay of the trial the cost is likely to go up. I wonder if I can increase the claim.

I spoke to the atty in the elevator. The copy of the service notice she had was particularly illegible, to the point that it did not seem possible to read my claim. She had to ask me what the claim was. That was somewhat fishy.

Anyways, I'm now sitting outside enjoying the sun on this ridiculously beautiful morning.

Hosers. Like they need that time for a simple breach of contract claim. They're just stringing you along.

Ridiculous.

Could you not have "agreed" to a 10 minute postponement?

I know. I almost said something to the effect of "I'm not going away" in the elevator but restrained myself. The look on her face when I said "no" so bluntly to the March date request was classic.

Just don't go over the money limit for your court to have jurisdiction over your claim.

Each side gets one adjournment as a "freebie" and then subsequent ones only if there is actually a good reason. They used their one - I can't fault them for that - and the next date should be for real.

+1. They're testing him to see his determination. So special on their part ....:rolleyes::rolleyes:

This is key. As you are in (I believe) small claims court, any judgment over the jurisdictional limits of the court would be void and unenforceable. :-:

There's a difference between good faith and a showing of good cause. All actions performed before the Court must be done in good faith. If you really wanted to screw with her, you could have asked on what good faith basis she sought the continuance. She probably would have come up with something, but again, the look on the face would have been priceless.

6 weeks is enough time to get all of the 'Box attorneys to show up for some pro bono support work. :cool:

I know next to nothing about the practice of law but it would be :eek::o:cool: to see sbm12 walk in with five or six lawyers.
