Plaintiff construction company did remodeling work at 80-unit condo development, and sued project's developer for breach of contract and unjust enrichment. Developer had been involuntarily dissolved in previous year. As developer was never properly served with the complaint, default judgment was void for lack of personal jurisdiction. As Plaintiff failed to send proper notice of its motion for default,  the default is vacated.(FITZGERALD SMITH and PUCINSKI, concurring.)
