    North Valley Justice Court
    14264 West Tierra Buena Lane
    Surprise, AZ 85274

    This comment is filed on behalf of the Justice of the Peace Bench in Maricopa County. It was presented at a bench meeting on March 8, 2023, for discussion and then was endorsed by a unanimous vote of our bench at a bench meeting on April 12, 2023. We recommend the rejection of the proposed amendment.

    This highly problematic rule change would impact every residential action filed in the state. It is an attempt to address the comparatively rare situation of a tenant being defaulted due to a problem interacting with court technology. When such a situation occurs, a tenant already has an existing legal remedy because a tenant can file a motion to set aside a judgment.
