WHERE A MOTION TO RENEW IS NOT BASED UPON A CHANGE IN THE LAW, THERE IS NO TIME LIMIT FOR BRINGING THE MOTION (SECOND DEPT),

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, noted that there was no time limit for bringing a motion to renew:

Contrary to the court’s determination, “[e]xcept where a motion to renew is based upon a change in the law, which is not the case here, CPLR 2221 does not impose a time limit for making a motion for leave to renew” … . Since the plaintiff’s prior motion had been denied with leave to renew, the plaintiff was not required to demonstrate a reasonable justification for his failure to submit the new facts on the prior motion … . Smith v Realty on Fox Croft Corp., 2024 NY Slip Op 06371, Second Dept 12-18-24

Practice Point: If a motion to renew is not based upon a change in the law, there is no time limit for bringing the motion.
