In Ethiopian Civil Procedure, ex-parte and default proceedings are two different types of legal proceedings that occur when one party fails to participate in the case.
Ex-parte proceedings, as outlined in Article 70, occur when one party (usually the plaintiff) appears before the court without the other party (usually the defendant) being present. This may happen when the defendant has not been properly served with the court documents or is unable to attend the hearing for some reason. In ex-parte proceedings, the court may make a decision based solely on the evidence and arguments presented by the party that is present.
Default proceedings, as outlined in Article 233, occur when one party (usually the defendant) fails to appear in court or respond to the court documents within the specified time frame. In default proceedings, the court may enter a judgment against the absent party based on the evidence and arguments presented by the party that is present.
In summary, ex-parte proceedings occur when one party is present in court without the other party, while default proceedings occur when one party fails to appear or respond to the court documents within the specified time frame.

Ex-Parte Proceeding (Article 70)
- A proceeding where only one party is present before the court.
- Occurs when:
- The defendant fails to appear or defend the case despite proper service of the summons.
- The defendant leaves Ethiopia without appointing a representative.
- The defendant is absent for an unknown reason.
Default Proceeding (Article 233)
- A proceeding where one party (usually the defendant) fails to appear or defend the case despite being properly served with the summons.
- Key Difference: Unlike an ex-parte proceeding, the defendant is aware of the proceedings but chooses not to participate.
Additional Distinctions:
- Burden of Proof:
- Ex-parte: The plaintiff must prove the allegations in the complaint without a defendant.
- Default: The defendant is legally deemed to have admitted the allegations, but the plaintiff may still present evidence.
- Judgment:
- Ex-parte: The court may grant judgment in favor of the plaintiff without a hearing.
- Default: The court must enter a default judgment against the defendant, but may consider evidence before doing so.
- Reversal:
- Ex-parte: The defendant may have the judgment set aside upon showing good cause for nonappearance.
- Default: The defendant may also have the judgment set aside, but they must demonstrate that they were not served properly or had a legitimate reason for not appearing.
- Duration:
- Ex-parte: Typically faster than default proceedings.
- Default: Can be longer, as the court may need to consider evidence or hold hearings before entering judgment.
- A proceeding where only one party is present before the court.
