motion for relief

A motion for relief is a formal request made to a court asking it to change or undo a previous legal decision, order, or judgment. It is typically used when someone believes there are valid reasons, such as new evidence, errors, or injustices, to reconsider the original ruling. The motion must clearly state the reasons and legal basis for the request, and the court will review it to decide whether to grant the relief sought. This process helps ensure that legal decisions are fair and can be corrected if necessary.
