HARPER v. CATHERTON

No. 4394.

255 A.2d 492 (1969)

Mary Lee HARPER, Appellant, v. Eldridge Wilson CATHERTON, Jr., Appellee.

District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Decided July 17, 1969.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Harry S. Weidberg, Washington, D. C., for appellant.

Edwin A. Sheridan, Washington, D. C., with whom Cornelius H. Doherty, Washington, D. C., was on the brief, for appellee.

Before HOOD, Chief Judge, and FICKLING and KERN, Associate Judges.


HOOD, Chief Judge:

This appeal is from an order vacating a default judgment. While ordinarily such an order is not appealable, appellant contends that the present order is appealable because it was entered after the time within which the court had the power to act.1 Appellee contends the judgment was void for lack of jurisdiction and therefore subject to being set aside at any time.
