[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can a lawyer explain how/why this can happen? Having a court rule one way, then a few days later rule the complete opposite way, makes no sense. I'm not sure I've ever heard it happening before. I didn't even know it could happen.[/quote] It happens occasionally. In a trial court, it's typically called a motion for reconsideration, and in an appeals court like this, it's typically called a petition for rehearing. The standard is usually pretty tough -- i.e., you can't just say that the court screwed up and repeat the same arguments you made before, but instead you must essentially show some glaring error. The decision is pretty bare bones (https://www.arlingtonva.us/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/departments/documents/cmo/eho-trial-transcripts/court-order-petition-for-rehearing-granted-8-july-2025.pdf), so without seeing the parties' legal briefs, it's tough to know what the error was here that caused the appeals court to reverse itself.[/quote]
