What is the name of your state? Louisiana
I'm confused about something here. A friend of mine filed (through her lawyer) a "Motion to Nullify Judgment", which was quickly and successfully opposed because it was a motion, and not a new petition, specifically stating that it was improper to file it as a "summary process" (I assume because it was a motion in the same Division), and it needed to be filed as an "ordinary process" (as a new action/new petition, w/ service). What's the difference?
Now, I have seen reference to motions to vacate judgments, motions to set aside judgments, etc. When is that proper? Does it have something to do with the fact that maybe these motions to set aside/motions to vacate were addressed toward default judgments or something like that?
