Legal Question in Business Law in Minnesota

Hello,

I have a small business and I had to take a client to small claims court to get a judgement to get paid. I showed at court and he didn't so I won by default. After I started to try and get the money from him he must have contacted the court saying he was never informed about the original court date, so they just gave him a new court date. It seems like the first one didn't matter at all. What are your thoughts on this and how can they just over turn the original judgement? For all I know the person recieved the info and decided he didn't want to go until we persued it further and now he can just call the shots. What is the deal with this? Thanks!

At the new court date, the parties will present arguments as to whether service of the notice actually occurred. If the Court decides that it did, the default judgment will stand. If not, the case will be re-opended to hear evidence on the issue.
