2025The trial court denied that motion pursuant to MCR 2.119(F)(3) for failure to “demonstrate a palpable error” warranting “a different disposition.” Plaintiff did not raise this argument before the trial court entered its original order granting defendant’s motion to set aside the default, despite having ample opportunity to do so, and we see “no abuse of discretion in denying a motion resting on a legal theory and facts which could have been pled or argued prior to the trial court’s original order.” Wood v SLB Prop Mgt, LLC, 277 Mich App 622, 630 ; 750 NW2d 228 (2008) (quotation marks and citat

2023Under MCR 2.119(F)(3), a party seeking reconsideration “must demonstrate a palpable error by which the court and the parties have been misled and show that a different disposition of the motion must result from correction of the error.” The trial court has broad discretion to grant or deny a motion for reconsideration, Al-Maliki v LaGrant, 286 Mich App 483, 486 ; 781 NW2d 853 (2009), but typically will deny a motion for reconsideration that merely presents the same issues already ruled upon by the trial court.
