Not that this is an excuse. The problem here is really the judges, who are shirking their judicial responsibilities. Small claims is really a court of equity, which makes it even more appalling. These judges should not be allowed to serve--though that's extremely hard to accomplish. There IS legislation, it’s not being followed. Not that this is an excuse.

I thought that you had to prove delivery of summons to be able to pull this stuff. And this is appears to me in some ways to be related to how the courts treat old people without families in some jurisdictions, where random attorneys can show up in court and through some maneuvering end up with the keys to the bank accounts and other assets. Is it too difficult to fix this stuff up with legislation? Wow, this is awful. I thought that you had to prove delivery of summons to be able to pull this stuff.
