Mathers v. Allstate Insurance Co.

JOSEPH P. DANDURAND, Judge.

Patricia J. Mathers appeals the judgment of the Circuit Court of Clay County setting aside a default judgment entered against Alstate Insurance Co. In her sole point on appeal, Ms. Mathers contends that the trial court erred in setting aside the default judgment because Allstate failed to demonstrate the requisite extrinsic fraud and failed to show its absence of fault, neglect, and inattention to the case. The judgment is reversed, and the case is remanded to the trial court to reinstate the default judgment.
