A default judgment would be entered against the party who failed to appear. After that, there is a 30 day period by statute for that party to try to recalendar the matter or try to vacate the judgment on some other grounds. If nothing is done, the prevailing party can then petition the court for a writ of execution, which is the legal entitlement to begin collecting on the judgment.

They would lose the case and have to pay the other person whatever the judge decided was fair.

Well, favor would be found for the party who filed suit.
