Confessed Judgment Clause Samples

A Confessed Judgment clause allows one party, typically a creditor, to obtain a court judgment against the other party without a trial or prior notice if certain conditions are met, usually in the event of a default. In practice, this means that if the debtor fails to fulfill their obligations, the creditor can present the signed agreement to a court and immediately secure a judgment for the amount owed, bypassing the usual litigation process. The core function of this clause is to provide a swift and efficient remedy for creditors, reducing the time and expense associated with traditional legal proceedings and minimizing the risk of nonpayment.
