reargument
The oral presentation of additional arguments to a court after it has already heard argument, for the purpose of demonstrating that “there is some decision or principle of law which would have a controlling effect and which has been overlooked, or that there has been a misapprehension of facts.” 18 N.Y.S. 2d 107, 110.
Reargument usually occurs prior to the court rendering a decision in a matter and may be distinguished from a rehearing which also presents some new or overlooked principle of law or fact but which usually occurs after the court has rendered its decision.
