When would a default judgment occur?

  1. When the plaintiff does not show up in court

  2. When a defendant does not answer a complaint

  3. After the final hearing of a case

  4. When a plaintiff files a complaint

The correct answer is: When a defendant does not answer a complaint

A default judgment occurs when a defendant does not answer a complaint. This means that the defendant has failed to respond to the allegations made by the plaintiff within the required time frame. Option A is incorrect because the plaintiff's presence in court does not impact the occurrence of a default judgment. Option C is incorrect because a final hearing does not necessarily mean that a default judgment has been entered. Option D is incorrect because the act of filing a complaint does not automatically result in a default judgment.
