1. What is the issue about?

The plaintiff filed a document with the court claiming there is an issue that needs to be resolved. You can access the claim on the Activity tab or the Attachments tab. The plaintiff may have also uploaded additional documents to further help you understand what the claim is about.

2. What happens if I don’t respond to the plaintiff?

Once the judge assigns the cases to mediation, both parties are required to participate. If either party has a legitimate reason to not participate, a motion can be made for the judge to withdraw the requirement and a hearing will be set to make that determination. You may discuss any issues on the Activity tab or you may end the online dispute resolution process at any time if there is a stalemate in the negotiations. If you do not reach an agreement before the 30th day, you will receive a notice from the court with your scheduled trial date and time.

3. Do I still need to go to court?

If you come to an agreement, Modria will generate an agreed judgment and both parties will electronically sign it. Once the court receives the agreed judgment, the judge will review and sign it. Once signed, each party will be sent a copy and no appearance at court is required.
