N.Y. C.P.L.R. 1203 — Default judgment is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
§ 1203. Default judgment. No judgment by default may be entered against an infant or a person judicially declared to be incompetent unless his representative appeared in the action or twenty days have expired since appointment of a guardian ad litem for him. No default judgment may be entered against an adult incapable of adequately protecting his rights for whom a guardian ad litem has been appointed unless twenty days have expired since the appointment.
