Is a default judgment void on its face because the trial court has no power to enter it?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Radovic v. Brilliant, B299736 (Cal. App. 2020):
4. Brilliant's reliance on Heidary v. Yadollahi (2002) 99 Cal.App.4th 857 for this contention is misplaced. There, the default, as opposed to the default judgment, was void on its face because the trial court had no power to enter it. (Id. at p. 862.) That is not the case here.
