What is the test for a motion for reconsideration?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from City and County of San Francisco v. Tijerino, 82 Cal.App.4th 160, 98 Cal.Rptr.2d 30 (Cal. App. 2000):

Respondent contends that his motion for reconsideration was appropriately considered under Code of Civil Procedure section 1008 because he presented "new or different facts, circumstances, or law." And he claims he demonstrated his diligence by explaining why these new "facts, circumstances, or law" were not presented at the original hearing, as required by Baldwin v. Home Savings of America (1997) 59 Cal.App.4th 1192, 1200, 69 Cal. Rptr.2d 592.
