“A ruling on a timely filed motion to open is within the trial court's discretion . . .”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“the duration of this power is restricted by statute and rule of practice.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“Unless the parties waive the time limitation, the trial court lacks jurisdiction to entertain a motion to open filed more than four months after a decision is rendered. . . . Under the circumstances, the trial court was simply without jurisdiction to order that the proceedings be reopened. The order of dismissal should have been left undisturbed . . . .”
