The following excerpt is from California Assn. of Psychology Providers v. Rank, 270 Cal.Rptr. 796, 51 Cal.3d 1, 793 P.2d 2 (Cal. 1990):
" 'Any aggrieved party' may appeal from an adverse judgment.... [O]ne who is legally 'aggrieved' by a judgment may become a party of record and obtain a right to appeal by moving to vacate the judgment pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 663." (County of Alameda v. Carleson (1971) 5 Cal.3d 730, 736, 97 Cal.Rptr. 385, 488 P.2d 953.) Appellants having filed such a motion, the only question is whether they qualify as persons aggrieved by the judgment.
