What is the effect of a final judgment on a motion for reconsideration?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Ramon v. Aerospace Corp., 50 Cal.App.4th 1233, 58 Cal.Rptr.2d 217 (Cal. App. 1996):

A final judgment terminates the litigation between the parties and leaves nothing in the nature of judicial action to be done other than questions of enforcement or compliance. "Until entry of judgment, the court retains [50 Cal.App.4th 1238] complete power to change its decision ...; it may change its conclusions of law or findings of fact. [Citation.] After judgment a trial court cannot correct judicial error except in accordance with statutory proceedings. [Citations.] A motion for reconsideration is not such a motion." (Nave v. Taggart (1995) 34 Cal.App.4th 1173, 1177, 40 Cal.Rptr.2d 714.)
