405 A.2d at 121 (finding motion to vacate default judgment untimely when the plaintiff filed two months after learning of dismissal of case). In McMartin v. Quinn, 2004 WL 249576, it was determined that the Defendant did not act with unreasonable delay, when the Motion for to Vacate Default Judgment was filed within thirty days from when she received notice of the default judgment. In Nanticoke Mem'l Hosp., the Court reopened the case when the Plaintiff made the motion to reopen almost three years after it had originally been dismissed. It seemed to have been swayed by the fact that there would be no prejudice to the defenses of the doctor and the hospital allegedly responsible for the wrongful death.
