JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Court having jurisdiction may invalidate fraudulent judgment.

- An exception to the general rule that the several superior courts of this state have no extraterritorial jurisdiction enabling the court of one county to set aside a judgment rendered by that of a different county is the rule which provides that a court having jurisdiction of the person of one who has obtained a judgment by fraud may invalidate and set aside such judgment.
