Text: Five days after the statutory time to file a cost bill, defendants moved for permission to file a late memorandum of costs on the ground that due to the press of other matters counsel inadvertently failed to file a timely memorandum. The motion was granted. (7) In the absence of prejudice, the trial court has broad discretion in allowing relief on grounds of inadvertence from a failure to timely file a cost bill. ( Reese v. Borghi (1963) 216 Cal. App.2d 324, 333-334 [30 Cal. Rptr. 868]; LeDeit v. Ehlert (1962) 205 Cal. App.2d 154, 169-170 [22 Cal. Rptr. 747].) There is no showing of prejudice, and the court did not abuse its discretion. The judgment and the order allowing the late filing of cost bill are affirmed.
