For which reason might a court set aside a judgment?

A court might set aside a judgment when it was obtained illegally because such a judgment fundamentally undermines the integrity of the judicial process. If a judgment is the result of fraudulent activities, coercion, bribery, or any other form of illegality, it violates the principles of justice and fairness that are essential to the legal system. Courts have a responsibility to ensure that their decisions are based on lawful procedures and ethical standards; hence, finding that a judgment was obtained illegally is a strong basis for the court to intervene and nullify that decision.

While insufficient evidence presented or new evidence emerging are valid grounds for appealing or reviewing a case, they do not inherently question the legality of how the judgment was reached. Disagreement among parties, on the other hand, while it may lead to disputes, does not provide a basis for setting aside a judgment unless it ties back into issues of legality or procedural fairness.
