Wheeler Bonding Co., Inc. v. 1st Stop Bonding LLC

Syllabus

Following a nonsuit by the original plaintiff, one of the original defendants was granted a default judgment with respect to his counterclaim. The original plaintiff thereafter moved to set the default judgment aside after the entry of final judgment, and later, attempted to re-file its previously nonsuited claims. After the trial court denied the motion to set aside and entered an order striking the original plaintiff's re-filed claims, this appeal followed. We reverse the denial of the motion to set aside and vacate the default judgment. The striking of the re-filed claims is affirmed.
