A trial court's decision whether to grant relief pursuant to I.R.C.P. 60(b) is reviewed for abuse of discretion. Flood v. Katz, 143 Idaho 454, 456-57, 147 P.3d 86, 88-89 (2006). The decision will be upheld if it appears that the trial court (1) correctly perceived the issue as discretionary, (2) acted within the boundaries of its discretion and consistent with the applicable legal standards, and (3) reached its determination through an exercise of reason.

Flood v. Katz, 143 Idaho 454, 456-57, 147 P.3d 86, 88-89 (2006). The applicable legal standard is set forth in I.R.C.P. 60(b), which allows a default judgment to be set aside where it resulted from, inter alia, excusable neglect or mistake of fact. A determination under Rule 60(b) turns largely on questions of fact to be determined by the trial court, whose factual findings will be upheld unless they are clearly erroneous. Nevertheless, because judgments by default are not favored, relief should be granted in doubtful cases in order to decide the case on the merits.
