After a New Jersey court has issued a judgment, prior to filing an appeal a party may ask the court reconsider its ruling. R. 4:49-2 governs the reconsideration process in the New Jersey Civil Courts. The motion for reconsideration must be filed with the court no later than 20 days after the service of the final order upon all parties. The service is effectuated by the party obtaining the order. The motion must concisely state the basis for reconsideration including a statement of matters or court decisions which the aggrieved party asserts the court overlooked or applied erroneously.
The reconsideration must be filed with the court that issued the judgment.
