In [[law]], a '''default''' is the failure to do something required by [[law]] or to appear at a required [[time]] in legal proceedings.
In [[law]], a '''default''' is the failure to do something required by [[law]] or to appear at a required [[time]] in legal proceedings.
In the United States, for example, when a party has failed to file meaningful response to pleadings within the [[time]] allowed, with the result that only one side of a controversy has been presented to the court, the party who has pleaded a claim for relief and received no response may request entry of default. In some jurisdictions the [[court]] may proceed to enter [[judgment]] immediately: others require that the plaintiff file a notice of [[intent]] to take the default judgment and serve it on the unresponsive party. If this notice is not opposed, or no adequate justification for the delay or lack of response is presented, then the plaintiff is entitled to judgment in his favor. Such a judgment is referred to as a "default judgment" and, unless otherwise ordered, has the same effect as a judgment entered in a contested case.

Entry of default in the United States district courts is governed by Rule 55 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
