Wikipedia
judgment by default
Default judgment is a binding judgment in favor of either party based on some failure to take action by the other party. Most often, it is a judgment in favor of a plaintiff when the defendant has not responded to a summons or has failed to appear before a court of law. The failure to take action is the default. The default judgment is the relief requested in the party's original petition.Default can be compared to a forfeit victory in sports. In a civil trial involving damages, a default judgment will enter the amount of damages pleaded in the original complaint. If proof of damages is required, the court may schedule another hearing on that issue. A party can have a default judgment vacated, or set aside, by filing a motion, after the judgment is entered, by showing of a proper excuse.

A judgment by default is a binding judgment in favor of either party based on some failure to take action by the other party. It is often obtained by the plaintiff when the defendant fails to respond to a summons or fails to appear before the court, essentially allowing the plaintiff to win the case without the need for a traditional court proceeding. This judgment, which often involves a financial award, is commonly enforced by the court.
