Default judgment remains a highly problematic and specific issue in Georgia’s civil procedural law. Georgian legislation stipulates several grounds for default judgment, however, there are some problematic issues that may arise in practice. This paper analyses the grounds for granting a default judgment and its legal consequences for the parties. It refers only to Georgian legislation and does not include comparative legal comments on other states. The aim is to analyse Georgian case law and the prevailing judicial practice of the Supreme Court of Georgia. Default judgment was very troublesome especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, and
there are several court cases related to it. Accordingly, the article is entirely based on judicial practice and addresses practical problems. It ends with a conclusion summarising the research.
