About this book
Hammond Packing Co. v. Arkansas, 212 U.S. 322 (1909) (No. 54)
Author: Supreme Court of the United States
Year: 1909
Case name: Hammond Packing Co. v. Arkansas Opinion filed: 1909-02-23 Docket No.: 54 Citations: • 212 U.S. 322 • 29 S. Ct. 370 • 53 L. Ed. 530 • 1909 U.S. LEXIS 1817 Case holding summaries: • rejecting due process challenge to court's rendering default judgment against defendant who failed to comply with discovery order • power to enter default judgment • upholding a default judgment for the defendant's failure to comply with an order to produce documents because the court could presume, from the failure to produce evidence relating directly to the merits of the matter, that the case was lacking in merit • dismissal (or default) does not offend due process, when, as here, the dismissal (or default) is a sanction for "the suppression or failure to produce the proof ordered, when such proof concerned the rightful decision of the cause"
