There are no fixed standards to determine the type of mistake, surprise, or excusable neglect that would warrant the setting aside of a default judgment. The court's decision to set aside a judgment on any of these grounds turns upon the unique factual background of each particular case. However, mistake, inadvertence, and excusable neglect that warrants relief from a default judgment require some justification for an error beyond mere carelessness or ignorance of the law of the party or his or her attorney.
