How can I avoid paying a civil Judgement?
You might be able to prevent collection of a judgment by negotiating with the creditor or claiming property as exempt. If a creditor sues you and gets a judgment, it has a whole host of collection methods available to get its money from you, including wage attachments, property levies, assignment orders, and more.
What happens if someone doesn’t show up for civil court?
Ignoring the Civil Claim will not make it go away and it is likely that the Plaintiff will apply for Judgment against you. If successful, the Court will issue a Certificate of Default Judgment which the Plaintiff may file in Court of Queen’s Bench which allows them to take collection proceedings against you.
What happens if you miss a court date for debt?
If a creditor fails to show in court, the case may get dismissed since the creditor won’t be present to provide evidence regarding their claim. If a debtor fails to show up, it is often grounds for a default judgment. You may choose to work out an agreement with the creditor before the court date on the summons.
