127 Cal.Rptr.2d 756 (2002)

104 Cal.App.4th 61

Sylvia Wei-Ting HU, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. Amy FANG, Defendant and Appellant.

Court of Appeals of California, Second District, Division Eight.

December 5, 2002.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Arnold Freedland, Alhambra, for Plaintiff and Respondent.

J. Flores Valdez for Defendant and Appellant.


COOPER, P.J.

The trial court denied relief under Code of Civil Procedure 1 section 473, subdivision (b) from a default judgment because it found that the error resulting in the default was made by a paralegal, not an attorney. We hold that, in the context of a motion under section 473, a paralegal's mistake is attributable to the attorney responsible for supervising the paralegal. We reverse the default judgment.
