A rehearing is a legal process in which a party requests that a court reconsider or review its decision in a case. It typically occurs after a final judgement or order has been issued by the court. Parties may seek a rehearing for various reasons, such as identifying errors of law or fact in the court’s decision, presenting new evidence or arguments that were not previously considered, or alleging procedural irregularities during the proceedings. The process for requesting a rehearing varies depending on the jurisdiction and the rules of the specific court involved. A rehearing may result in the court affirming, modifying, or reversing its previous decision, or it may lead to further proceedings or appeals in the case.
