Setting Aside a Judgment

law

In Kansas, after a judgment is entered, a person can try and set aside, or vacate, the judgment in order to have the case re-litigated.  However, in order to set aside the judgment, the person must show that there was some excusable neglect.  Unfortunately, as stated in the case of Morton County Hospital v. Howell, not understanding what you are admitting to when you admit to a judgment does not constitute excusable neglect.  Therefore, if you admit to a judgment, you cannot undo the judgment simply because you did not know what you were doing.
