In Hagan v. Mund's Boilers, Inc. (1950) 96 Cal. App. 2d 101, the Court of Appeal reversed the trial court's amendment of a judgment under section 473, where the judgment was entered on July 13, 1948 and the amendment was made on November 24, 1948 after a motion for a new trial was denied and after the time to appeal the underlying judgment had expired. ( Hagan v. Mund's Boilers, Inc., supra, 96 Cal. App. 2d at pp. 102-103.) In holding that the amended judgment was improper, the court held that "section 473 was never intended as a substitute for an appeal or other remedial provisions designed to assist a party who is dissatisfied with a judgment rendered against him." ( Id. at p. 106.)
