Leave to renew ordinarily requires diligent efforts to obtain the evidence now relied on and a reasonable justification for not submitting the evidence in the prior motion, pursuant to CPLR 2221[e][2], [3]. Courts also may grant the motion in the interest of justice, so as not to defeat substantive fairness.
