Re: Can I collect on a default judgment?
Generally, the answer is "yes." While there may be some exceptions to this general rule, I would need to know the specific facts of your case to render any formal opinion. For example, did you sue a general partnership? a limited partnership? a limited liability corporation? what was the nature of your suit?
The answers to these and other questions will determine the applicability or non-applicability of general partnership law.
