A default may be removed at the court's discretion, either on its own initiative or by a party's written motion, "at any time prior to the entry of judgment on such default." Rule 10(c) of the Uniform Rules of Summary Process (2004). Default judgments issue at 10 A.M. on the business day following their entry, and are not subject to appeal.15 See Rule 10(d) of the Uniform Summary Process Rules (2004); Rule 12 of the Uniform Rules of Summary Process (2004). An unrepresented tenant, then, has less than twenty-four hours to learn of a default judgment and timely move to contest it.16
