Illinois Electric Porcelain Co. v. B. & M. Construction Corp.

Plaintiff recovered a default money judgment against the defendant five days after the time for answer had expired. At the same term of court defendant filed a motion to vacate the judgment, stating in the motion that it had a good defense and offered to file its answer stating such defense, and that prior to the answer day it had prepared a motion in the cause, but through inadvertence and mistake failed to file the same. Said motion was sustained, but the record is silent as to the showing made or the reason for sustaining the motion. Plaintiff appeals.

The judgment must be affirmed. No…
