Can a judge reverse himself if he later concludes he was wrong?

2 In Hitchcock v. McElrath, 69 Cal. 634, 11 P. 487, the order denying the second motion provided that the motion might be renewed. It was renewed and the order of denial was set aside and the motion granted.

3 'There is no impropriety or error in a judge reversing himself if he later concludes he was wrong the first time. He would stultify himself if he did otherwise. The motion to reconsider was in effect a renewal of the motion to vacate and set aside the default and the judgment.' (Hover v. MacKenzie, 122 Cal.App.2d 852, 857, 266 P.2d 60, 63.)
