March 2023

Despite the odds, Cheryl A. Garber, Esquire secured a remand for her Appellant client because the default judgement entered against her client as defendant in the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas (before Garber Law represented the client) was pulled out of thin air and not based on an amount pleaded by plaintiff in the Complaint or determined at an assessment of damages hearing. Thus, the Superior Court of PA agreed with Garber, finding that the Prothonotary in the lower court lacked the authority to enter default judgement in the amount of $450k, and remanded the case to the lower court for a trial to determine what damages, if any, plaintiff is to be awarded.
