Notice of Nonappearance Introduction


This Notice of Nonappearance is patterned on one I constructed in December 1998. The "Notice of Nonappearance" evolves from Uniform Commercial Code research. It has been successful in some jurisdictions, and not in others. It is based on the notion that the juristic or "fictional" "JOHN DOE" is not the living, moral being, "John Doe".

The following variation uses authority of Restatement of Law, cited immediately below the title. The American Law Institute produces the Restatement of Law series. Whatever ALI publishes is more or less "black letter law" for court procedure. Since the cite from Restatement of Law is the only significant change from earlier versions, I assume that it has some affect in the judicial and legal fraternity. The author of the document claims that it has worked in all five Oregon cases where it has been used.

Anyone wishing to adopt this approach a litigation defense should be advised that it is a nonstandard pleading. It does not follow any procedural format that I know of. It is a "use at your own risk" approach to litigation that may or may not produce favorable results.
