Definitions from Case Law

From 50 U.S. 297 - Benjamin Humphreys v. Leggett Smith and Lawrence · 1850Most cited · 40 citing opinions

Personal notice to the defendant is indispensable to sustain the validity of a judgment, and to authorize subsequent proceedings under it... Nor is the necessity of such notice obviated by an entry of his appearance on the record, or by the appearance of attorney for him without his knowledge or authority.
