How courts have described this case

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

  • holding an irregularity existed because the court clerk failed to send required notice of default judgment to the defendant
  • striking two documents inserted into the record extract that did not appear in the record below
  • failure of clerk to notify party of entry of judgment constituted “irregularity,” allowing the court to set aside enrolled judgment
  • where record contains sufficient facts to support required findings under Rule 2-535(b), lack of express findings by trial court is immaterial
  • “[I]f a motion to revise or set aside a judgment is filed within 30 days of the entry of a judgment, a trial court has unrestricted discretion to revise the unenrolled judgment and that discretion has to be liberally exercised.”
  • failure of clerk to send required notice under Md. Rule 611
