Is this the dumbass thay was streaming the unreleased games that got leaked?
Not defending Nintendo one bit here, but like, you made your own bed with that one dickhead.
Not really, they're asking for default without actually serving the person and that just isn't how our justice system works.
Headline says he ignored a court summons. Do you even understand what it means to be served (a court summons)???
A summons still has to be served in civil court meaning actually made aware generally by a hand to hand transfer. There is no mention of that happening and court dates proceed regardless of actual service unless the court moves out preemptively or the other party motions to move it forward to affect service.
So the question is do you know the difference between service and summons and the interplay between them.
Loads of people seem to think that you can ignore a court summons by simply refuse to take it. Obviously that's not how it works if you know that you have been served that's enough. He would have to prove that he didn't know he had been served which is pretty difficult.
Difficult, yes. Stupid, indeed. How the legal system works? Also true.
If he's been served it will have been documented, the court won't have proceeded with the case if they don't think the person named in the case has been served, so the fact that he didn't turn up to court means he must have been served otherwise they wouldn't have had the trial yet.
Fun fact, the case did not proceed they're specifically asking for it to.
No, the date proceeds unless the court says otherwise even if it's simply to show up and say they don't have service yet.
Y'all really don't have any civil court experience do you?
