What is an affidavit on default and entry of default?

An affidavit on default is a sworn statement submitted to the court indicating that a party has failed to respond or appear in a legal action, thereby establishing their default. The entry of default is the formal acknowledgment by the court that a defendant has not responded within the required timeframe, allowing the plaintiff to seek a default judgment. This process is often used in civil cases when a party does not fulfill their legal obligations, such as responding to a complaint.
