What is the test for a motion to vacate a motion for an initial hearing in a personal injury case?

The statutory scheme vests initial jurisdiction in the superior court to decide all legal and factual disputes. It permits defendants to develop a record for an appeal. It provides them with the right to appeal after a ruling on a motion to vacate. (Fishman v. Fishman, supra, 117 Cal.App.3d at p. 819.)
