Rule 289 Service of Process in Proceedings to Confirm a Judgment by Confession or to Collect a Judgment for $10,000 or Less

When someone goes to court to confirm a confession judgment or to collect a money judgment of $10,000 or less, there is a specific way they must notify the other party. The amount of $10,000 does not include any interest or court costs.

For these smaller cases, the court uses the same method of serving papers that is described in Rule 284. This means the process for notifying the other person follows that specific set of steps rather than the standard rules for serving legal papers.
