⚖️  Law

I had a hearing on the Defendant's Motion to dismiss my 3rd Amended Complaint as the Plaintiff and lost. I argued that there was a new ongoing tort and new damage due to negligence during the cleanup, which should move me back into the statute of limitations.

I am preparing a Motion for a rehearing to clarify this before appealing. Am I going about this the right way, and if what I say is true and documented, will the judge give me a rehearing? Am I correct in understanding that the 3rd Amended Complaint must contain new allegations not considered in the original complaint?
