p0596 REVIEW GRANTED A trial court has inherent power to exercise its constitutionally derived authority to reconsider a prior interim ruling and correct its own error of law on a dispositive issue; although a statute validly may authorize a trial court to reject a renewed motion if it is not based on new facts or law, it can not take away the court's power to rule on such a motion if it chooses to do so.CitationLEFRANCOIS v GOEL (Second Motion) 119 CA4 425 [See: CCP 1008, 437c; Scott v USF&G 107 CA4 197, P/AT 5/03; Bagley v TRW 73 CA4 1092, T/AT 9/99; Auto Equity Sales v Superior Court 57 C2 450]
