A quick definition of motion for resettlement:

A motion for resettlement is a request to fix a mistake in a court order or judgment. It cannot be used to ask for a big change in the decision. It's like asking the teacher to correct a mistake on your report card.

A more thorough explanation:

A motion for resettlement is a request made to clarify or correct the form of an order or judgment that does not correctly state the court's decision. It cannot be used to request a substantial change to or amplification of the court's decision.

  • If a judge issues an order that mistakenly states the wrong date for a hearing, a party may file a motion for resettlement to correct the error.
  • However, if a party disagrees with the judge's decision on a matter, they cannot use a motion for resettlement to request a new decision.

These examples illustrate how a motion for resettlement is used to correct clerical errors or mistakes in the wording of a court order or judgment, rather than to challenge the substance of the decision.
