Friday Failed to Take Seriously a Lawsuit Filed Against Him

Essay

Friday failed to take seriously a lawsuit filed against him by Ranger. He completely ignored the papers describing the case and the request made by Ranger's attorney directing him to appear in court and answer the allegations made by Ranger. Because of Friday's course of action, Ranger's attorney entered the proper papers in court allowing the case to proceed on evidence presented by Ranger alone. Friday claims that this procedure by Ranger's attorney was improper, since he (Friday) was not given the opportunity to defend himself in court. Is Friday correct?
