A party may be relieved from a final judgment in cases of mistake, inadvertence, surprise or excusable neglect. If such relief is granted, that effectively reopens the case for further proceedings. Also, a case may be reopened if there is newly discovered evidence which would probably have altered the judgment. It would most likely have to be proved that the new evidence could not have been discovered sooner using due diligence. A case may be reopened if it is dismissed without prejudice for a procedural matter such as failing to provide discovery, failing to file appropriate pleadings or even failing to appear for trial, a motion to reopen or restore the case to the active calendar may be made.
