Appellate Practice Attorney serving New York, NY
Not sure what your question is, but courts would much prefer to decide a dispute on the merits, and not because someone made a mistake and didn't answer in the time allowed, so that even if you served them properly, there is a decent chance that the court will vacate the default if they have any kind of reasonable excuse for blowing the deadline.
