Judgment by Confession
A Judgment by Confession (also known as Confession of Judgment) is the entry of a judgment for the amount of a claim upon a written admission or acknowledgment by a debtor usually without the formality of a court proceeding. Rule 4:45-2 sets forth the procedure for entry of a judgment by confession.
k. Reporting of Judgments Involving Insurance Fraud
Civil judgments in cases of auto insurance fraud must be reported to the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) wherein a mandatory suspension of the judgment debtor’s driver’s license is imposed pursuant to N.J.S.A. 39:6A-15.
l. Naming of Parties in Judgment
Although a suit may be started against a party designated by an initial letter or letters or a contraction of a given name or names, no final judgment may be entered against a party so designated unless the plaintiff amends the complaint to state at least one full given name of the defendant or the court otherwise orders.
