The Law Office of Brian T. Boyd v. Daniel Silverman

Syllabus

Unsatisfied with the judgment it obtained in the general sessions court, the plaintiff appealed to the circuit court. When the plaintiff failed to file a timely motion to set its appeal for trial, the circuit court adopted the judgment of the general sessions court. The plaintiff moved to set aside the judgment, claiming excusable neglect. The court denied the motion. On appeal, the plaintiff argues that the court abused its discretion in denying the motion to set aside. We affirm.
