Explo, Inc. v. Johnson & Morgan
Superior Court of Pennsylvania
1Opinion of the Court
BROSKY, Judge:
Expío, Inc. has appealed from the order of the court below granting the petition to open judgment filed by Don R. Johnson and William Morgan, trading and doing business as Johnson & Morgan. The central issue for our determination is whether the court below abused its discretion in opening the judgment. The court below held that Johnson & Morgan had a meritorious defense; that the petition to open was promptly filed; and that Johnson & Morgan had a reasonable explanation for their failure to respond. We disagree, and accordingly reverse the order of the court below.
