What happens if the Court enters a judgment against the defendant?
When the court enters a judgment against the defendant, the plaintiff becomes responsible for collecting on a money judgment in a Small Claims case. At your hearing, a Small Claims Judgment form is completed stating the amount the defendant owes, how and when it must be paid, and what happens if it is not paid. These forms are available at the Civil Division’s cashier window for one dollar ($1.00) each.
