ORDER VACATING AUGUST 19, 2025 ORDER SETTING ASIDE PETITIONER’S 

DEFAULT 

 

ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S MOTION TO SET ASIDE DEFAULT 

 

The Tribunal has considered the file in this case and finds that it entered an order 

setting aside Petitioner’s default on August 19, 2025. The Tribunal erred in the entry of 

this order, as it failed to address the Motion to Set Aside Default filed by Petitioner on 

August 7, 2025. Respondent has not filed a response to the motion. 

Further, the Tribunal finds that Petitioner was held in default because it did not sign the 

petition and pay the full required fee for the filing of the petition. Having now filed a 

signed petition and paid the full required filing fee for the petition, Petitioner has 

complied with the Tribunal’s orders, as required by TTR 237. As such, the Tribunal 

finds good cause to grant the motion and set the default aside. Therefore, 

IT IS ORDERED that the August 19, 2025 Order Setting Aside Petitioner’s Default is 

VACATED. 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner’s Motion to Set Aside Default is GRANTED
