The Defendant failed to timely answer or otherwise respond to the Complaint and a Default Judgment was entered as to the liability of the Defendant for both causes of action. A hearing was later held on the issue of the Plaintiffs entitlement to any damages or attorney’s fees. This Opinion will touch upon the propriety of the default judgment and determine the appropriate damage awards.
