Under the circumstances presented, the motion court properly exercised its discretion in conditionally granting plaintiff's motion for vacatur ( see Kramer v. Edenwald Constr. Co., 261 AD2d 284; Levy v. Aquasciences Intl., Inc., 179 AD2d 566). Plaintiff submitted timely written opposition to defendants' summary judgment motion demonstrating a meritorious cause of action; her nonappearance at the oral argument of the motion was demonstrably due to law office failure, was not indicative of any intention to delay or abandon the action and did not cause defendants significant prejudice.
We have considered defendants' remaining arguments and find them unavailing.
