View this case - free

Overview: The setting aside of a default judgment was reversed as the court erred in deeming the default judgment void under Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.540(b)(4). Instead, the judgment was "voidable" based on an alleged non-cognizable cause of action. The court also erred in concluding that the damages were unliquidated as they could be determined with exactness.
