How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- concluding that a defendant’s failure to update an incorrect address for “4 1/2 years” constituted willful behavior
- holding there was more than a “mere failure to update the address listed” where the defendant ceased making payments to its registered agent and took no action to update its address for 4.5 years
- vacating an entry of default because although defendant willfully defaulted, defendant presented meritorious defenses and plaintiff would not be prejudiced
- vacating entry of default even while assuming one of the three factors weighed in favor of default
- interpreting “willfulness” in the context of a default to refer to conduct that is “more than merely negligent or careless”
- collecting cases in which vacatur was warranted in spite of willfulness of the default
