"The US Supreme Court will evaluate whether the absence of personal jurisdiction in a default judgment can be challenged indefinitely or is constrained by a reasonable time limit."
"In its appeal, Coney Island Auto Parts contends that a 2015 default judgment lacks validity due to defective service of process, which raised concerns about the jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court."
The U.S. Supreme Court is set to review a case concerning the time limits for contesting default judgments related to a lack of personal jurisdiction. This case arises from a bankruptcy dispute involving Coney Island Auto Parts, which is seeking to overturn a 2015 default judgment due to what it claims was improper service of process. The Sixth Circuit's ruling, which mandates a 'reasonable time' for such motions, is unique among federal appellate courts, leading to this significant Supreme Court consideration.
