§ 1032 Proceedings to be by motion - Notice.

If you need to fix a mistake the court clerk made, or if you think a judgment or order was obtained the wrong way, you can't just show up and complain. You have to file a formal motion asking the court to fix the problem.

Before the court will look at your motion, you have to give the other side a heads up. This means sending reasonable notice to the other party or their lawyer. This gives them a chance to respond before the judge decides anything.

The idea behind this rule is fairness. Both sides deserve a chance to be heard when someone asks the court to change a judgment or fix an error. Nobody should be able to make changes behind the other person's back.
