Under CCP 473(b), the court may set aside a default and default judgment if the defendant asking for the set aside presents enough evidence to the court to demonstrate that the default was entered by inadvertence, mistake, surprise, or excusable neglect.
A defendant can challenge the entry of default by filing a motion pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(c), which allows the court to set it aside for good cause shown. Under certain circumstances, the court is required to do so.
A common summary of the rules for setting aside (excusing) a default is frequently quoted by Florida appellate courts: A party attempting to set aside a clerks default must demonstrate excusable neglect, a meritorious defense, and due diligence in order for the trial court to vacate the default.
A judge can set aside a default judgment for the following reasons, among others: Mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect of the party who failed to defend himself in the case. Fraud, misrepresentation, or other misconduct by the party who filed the case.
To vacate a Default, an individual must meet all elements of a 3 part test. The 3 elements include: Excusable Neglect: An individual does not respond due to a misunderstanding, clerical error, or human error. Meritorious Defense: The Individual must attach an Answer and Affirmative Defenses to their Motion to Vacate.
