WHEN A PRIOR MOTION HAS BEEN DENIED ON PROCEDURAL GOUNDS “WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO RENEW,” THE MOTION FOR LEAVE TO RENEW THE PRIOR MOTION DOES NOT HAVE TO BE SUPPORTED BY REASONABLE JUSTIFICATION FOR PRESENTING NEW FACTS (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined plaintiff’s motion for leave to renew its prior motion should not have been denied. The judge had denied the prior motion on procedural grounds “without prejudice to renew:”

… Supreme Court improvidently exercised its discretion in denying, on procedural grounds, the plaintiff’s motion for leave to renew its prior motion pursuant to CPLR 5225 … . Since the court had denied the plaintiff’s prior motion without prejudice to renew, the plaintiff was not required to demonstrate a reasonable justification for its failure to present alleged new facts on the prior motion … . Key Growth Invest LP v 1499 Fulton Realty, LLC, 2024 NY Slip Op 03036, Second Dept 6-5-24

Practice Point: If a judge denies a motion on procedural grounds “without prejudice to renew,” the motion for leave to renew does not have to provide a reasonable justification for the presentation of new facts.
