Syllabus

JUDGMENT – PROCEDURE/RULES – DUE PROCESS – NOTICE: Where defendant had timely filed an answer but had not appeared at the scheduled trial, and the trial court failed to provide reasonable notice to defendant before proceeding to an ex parte hearing at which the court considered evidence, the trial court erred in denying defendant's motion to set aside the judgment: the trial court violated defendant's right to due process by failing to provide reasonable notice of the hearing.
