“The remedy provided by CR 60.02(1, 2, and 3[ 5 ]), must be sought within the year even though an appeal is being prosecuted. The remedy is available even though the appeal is duly perfected and pending decision in this Court. It would continue to be available if this Court, by rare chance, should have its mandate of affirmance in hands of the trial court before the expiration of the year. Wolfe v. Combs’ Adm’r, Ky., 273 S.W.2d 33 [ (1954) ]. In other words the remedy is in no way affected by the appeal and the appeal is in no way affected by the remedy.”
