SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION 

 

v 

 

MTT Docket No. 24-003618 

 

City of Albion, 

 

Presiding Judge 

Respondent. 

 

Patricia L. Halm 

 

ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S MOTION TO SET ASIDE DEFAULT 

 

On November 15, 2025, Petitioner filed a motion requesting the Tribunal set aside the 

default entered in this case on October 3, 2024. 

 

Respondent has not filed a response to the motion. 

 

The Tribunal has considered the motion and the case file and finds that Petitioner was 

held in default because the Petition was not signed by Petitioner, and Petitioner’s 

authorized representative failed to complete section two of the Small Claims Petition 

form. Petitioner failed to respond and the Tribunal entered an order extending the time 

to cure on November 6, 2024. Having now filed the completed Small Claims Petition 

form, Motion to Set Aside Default, paid the required motion filing fee, and submitted a 

proof of service evidencing that the Motion to Set Aside Default was served on 

Respondent, Petitioner has complied with the Tribunal’s orders as required by TTR 231. 

As such, the Tribunal finds good cause to grant the motion and set aside the default. 

Therefore, 

 

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