Motion to Set Aside Default Judgment: A formal request made to a judge to vacate, cancel, or nullify a judgment that was entered against a party solely because they failed to appear in court or respond to the initial complaint.
Meritorious Defense: A legally sufficient defense that addresses the actual substance of the lawsuit, raising a genuine issue of fact or law that would change the outcome of the case if proven true at trial.
Summary Disposition (MCR 2.116): A procedural mechanism by which a court decides a case, or specific claims within a case, without a full trial because there is no genuine dispute regarding any material facts.
Writ of Garnishment: A court order instructing a third party, such as a bank or an employer, to withhold assets or wages from a debtor to satisfy a previously established civil judgment.
Notice to Quit: A formal written notification from a landlord to a tenant demanding that the tenant either remedy a specific lease violation or vacate the property within a statutory timeframe before a formal eviction suit can be filed.
Statutory Retaliation Defense: A legal defense asserting that a landlord's eviction proceeding is an unlawful response to a tenant exercising their legally protected rights, such as reporting housing code violations.
Adjournment: The formal postponement of a court session or hearing to a specified future date, often granted to allow parties to seek counsel, gather evidence, or resolve immediate crises.
Pro-Se Litigant: A party who chooses to represent themselves in a legal proceeding without the assistance or representation of a licensed attorney.
