    Did they move to re-open, or has such a motion been granted?

    If it is the former, you should oppose. Also, depending on your jurisdiction, the court rules will often provide that they only have a certain amount of time in which to ask to re-open the case.

    Any question on law needs to include your general locale as laws vary by area. Also you posted this under Small claims and the rules for small claims courts are more relaxed and vary from court to court.

    You said; "now they reopen case", but that's very vague. It could mean they filed a motion to reopen or the court granted a new hearing or somewhere in between. They certainly can move to reopen, whether it will be granted and a new hearing ordered depends on their grounds for reopening. Information that you did not tell us. Please, if you want help from us, you need to give details.
