Civil Procedure — personal jurisdiction — service
Valerie Kennedy appeals an order denying her motion to reopen a small claims default judgment. Kennedy argues the circuit court erroneously exercised its discretion by denying her motion because the service by mail on Kennedy was defective and, as a result, the original circuit court lacked personal jurisdiction to enter judgment against her. We agree and reverse the circuit court’s order and remand with directions to vacate the default judgment for lack of personal jurisdiction. This opinion will not be published.
