ORDER DENYING RESPONDENT’S MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION 

 

On January 27, 2026, Respondent filed a motion requesting that the Tribunal reconsider 

the Order for Default Hearing (order) entered in this case on January 12, 2026. In the 

motion, Respondent states that the lack of response was due to a computer error. 

 

The Tribunal has considered the motion and the case file and finds that Respondent’s 

motion provides no good cause to reconsider the order. The motion lacks appropriate 

specificity or any basis to determine that the order was in error. 

 

Given the above, Respondent has failed to demonstrate a palpable error relative to the 

order that misled the Tribunal and the parties and that would have resulted in a different 

disposition if the error was corrected.1 Therefore, 

 

IT IS ORDERED that Respondent’s Motion for Reconsideration is DENIED.

ORDER FOR DEFAULT HEARING 

 

The Tribunal has considered the file in this case and finds that Respondent was placed 

in default on November 19, 2025, because they failed to file an answer. The Tribunal 

extended the time for Respondent to cure the default by an additional 14 days on 

December 12, 2025, and it has failed to respond or submit the required filing(s). Given 

this failure, the Tribunal finds that Respondent’s violation was willful. It also establishes 

a history of deliberate delay and refusing to comply with Tribunal rules and orders, both 

of which have prejudiced Petitioner. As a result, giving careful consideration to the 

Grimm factors and considering all options in determining what sanction is just and 

proper, the Tribunal finds that scheduling a default hearing is warranted, and a lesser 

sanction would not be appropriate or better serve the interests of justice.1 Therefore, 

 

IT IS ORDERED that a default hearing shall be scheduled in the normal course.2

1 See Grimm v Dep’t of Treasury, 291 Mich App 140 (2010). Though Grimm was specific to the sanction 

of dismissal, the cases cited by the Court, and the reasoning behind its adoption of the factors set forth 

therein are not so narrow. The factors apply equally to default judgements, or in the case of the Tribunal 

proceedings, the conducting of a default hearing. See Bass v Combs, 238 Mich App 16 (1999), overruled 

in part on other grounds by Dimmitt & Owens Fin, Inc v Deloitte & Touche (ISC), LLC, 481 Mich 618 

(2008), Vicencio v Ramirez, 211 Mich App 501 (1995), and Traxler v Ford Motor Co, 227 Mich App 276 

(1998). See also TTR 237. 

2 A “default hearing" is “a hearing at which the defaulted party is precluded from presenting any testimony, 

offering any evidence, and examining the other party's witnesses.” TTR 203(e).

ORDER EXTENDING TIME FOR RESPONDENT TO CURE DEFAULT 

 

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

holding Respondent in default on November 19, 2025, because they failed to file an 

answer.1 Respondent was required to cure the default within 14 days, has had ample 

time to comply, yet has failed to respond or submit the required filings. Though the 

Tribunal finds an extension of time to cure the default appropriate, Respondent’s failure 

to comply with Tribunal orders and its Rules of Practice and Procedure has established 

a history of deliberate delay that would justify the scheduling of a default hearing for 

failure to timely comply with this order.2 Therefore, 

 

IT IS ORDERED that the time for Respondent to cure the default is EXTENDED. 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Respondent must complete the following to cure the 

default: (1) file an answer, (2) file a Motion to Set Aside Default, (3) pay the $25.00 fee 

required for the filing of the motion, and (4) file proof the motion was served on 

Petitioner. The foregoing must be filed with the Tribunal within 14 days of the entry of 

this order.3 

 

Failure to comply with this order may result in the scheduling of a default hearing, as 

provided by TTR 237.4
