your case is then put on calendar.

bring copies of all evidence.

10 minutes in front of the Judge.
Be prepared to state your case,
facts up front.

likely render his/her decision right then
or you will be notified by mail
of the decision.
Once you receive the Judge's decision,
it is known as a
Notice of Entry of Judgement.
If you have won your case it is necessary
for you to wait 30 days from the date
of the mailing of the
Notice of Entry of Judgment
before you could begin collection efforts.

I've won my case,
what is my next step?

If necessary, send the defendant a copy of
the (SC-200)
Notice of Entry of Judgment

Question:
What if they do not
pay immediately?

then you may be able to begin a

or work then it may be necessary to
file and serve the defendant with an
