North Carolina Court of Appeals Ruling on Sum Certain and Renewal of Judgments
The Court of Appeals issued its Opinion, on April 7, 2020, defining what a plaintiff must show to demonstrate a sum certain for the Clerk of Superior Court to enter a default judgment. In this case, the Court of Appeals found that a sum certain was shown in 2007 that was sufficient for the Clerk to enter a default judgment. The Court therefore upheld an award of summary judgment in favor of the Plaintiff for the renewal of the 2007 default judgment. Congratulations to Andrew Hoke for another favorable appellate decision.
