California Supreme Court June 10, 2005, S126630 (Le Francois v. Goel)

Opinion

CHIN, J.

this lawsuit, defendants moved for summary judgment. The trial court denied the motion. More than a year later, some of the defendants again moved for summary judgment on the same grounds. The court granted the second motion. We must decide whether the court had authority to consider the new motion even though it was not based on either new facts or new law.
