Excusable Neglect (CCP473(b)): To be excusable, the neglect must have been the act or omission of a reasonably prudent person under the circumstances. Forgetting the lawsuit, being too busy to properly respond, or being unable to afford an attorney are not ground for excusable neglect. Examples of excusable neglect include: * Illnes that disables the party from responding on apearing in court * Failure to respond because you relied on your attorney to do so * Failure to appear at trial because you relied on misinformation provided by a court officer.
