    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.
