General Statutes § 52-212 (a) provides: “Anyjudgment rendered or decree passed upon a default or nonsuit in the Superior Court may be set aside, within four months following the date on which it was rendered or passed, and the case reinstated on the docket, on such terms in respect to costs as the court deems reasonable, upon the complaint or written motion of any party or person prejudiced thereby, showing reasonable cause, or that a good cause of action or defense in whole or in part existed at the time of the rendition of the judgment or the passage of the decree, and that the plaintiff or defendant was prevented by mistake, accident or other reasonable cause from prosecuting the action or making the defense.” The words “following the date on which [the decree] was rendered or passed” have been interpreted as meaning the date of notification of the decree. Noethe v. Noethe, 18 Conn. App. 589, 595-96, 559 A.2d 1149 (1989). This interpretation is consistent with the words “succeeding the date on which notice was sent” used in Practice Book § 377.
