SLR 14-16.025: SETTING ASIDE DEFAULT JUDGMENTS

A defendant against whom a default judgment is entered in a violation matter may file a request for relief from default judgment within a reasonable time, not to exceed one (1) year . A request for relief must be in writing and set forth facts which demonstrate that the failure to appear or to exercise one of the options described in SLR 16.015, was due to mistake, inadvertence, surprise or excusable neglect. The request may be decided without a hearing or may require the defendant to appear and present oral argument. The decision of the Administrative Authority is final.
