Judges-Abuse of Discretion
(Anastos v. Lee)

Judges-Abuse of Discretion-Test-Whether Exceeds the Bounds of Reason
(Anastos v. Lee)

A motion to vacate a default and set aside a judgment (§ 473) "is addressed to the sound discretion of the trial court, and in the absence of a clear showing of abuse . . . the exercise of that discretion will not be disturbed on appeal."  (Lint v. Chisholm (1981) 121 Cal.App.3d 615, 619-620, quoting City Bank of San Diego v. Ramage (1968) 266 Cal.App.2d 570, 579.)  The appropriate test for abuse of discretion is whether the trial court exceeded the bounds of reason.  (Nestle v. City of Santa Monica (1972) 6 Cal.3d 920, 925.)
