Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• finding that there was no indication on the record that service to the appellant’s residence was improper, and thus, there was no fatal defect on the face of the record
• holding that a fifty-one- day delay was untimely
• finding no fatal defect where record reflected plaintiff sent 10-day notice to address of record, even though defendant was incarcerated
• noting cases in which this Court has found a prompt and timely filing of the petition to open a default judgment where the delay in filing the petition was only one day, five days, or fourteen days from the receipt of notice of the entry of the judgment
• “[I]f a party seeks to challenge the truth of factual averments in the record at the time judgment was entered, then the party should pursue a petition to open a judgment, not a petition to strike the - 10 - J-A25003-23 judgment.” (citation omitted)
