Using Facts From Related Lawsuits
<p>If a person defaults in a lawsuit the facts alleged in the complaint become true.  My question is can those uncontested facts now be used against the same party in a related lawsuit?</p>

<p>The “facts” do not “become true”: they were and are untested assertions and therefore unproven “facts”. If they are challenged, the person who asserted the “facts” has the onus to prove they are, in fact, facts.</p>
