Does the court have authority to reconsider or modify its order?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from La Cues v. Guillen, E073161 (Cal. App. 2020):

Clients' timelines argument is unavailing. On April 11, 2019, the court modified its April 10 order granting Clients relief from their defaults by ruling that Clients could only file answers as their responsive pleadings to the cross-complaint, rather than their proposed anti-SLAPP motion. (Le Francois v. Goel (2005) 35 Cal.4th 1094, 1106-1107 [court has inherent authority to reconsider and modify its orders on its own motion].)
