Motion for Leave Law and Legal Definition
A motion for leave is a request for permission to file something that isn't allowed as a matter of right under law. It is often a request for an extension of time to file something past a filing deadline. Rules of procedure and court rules, which vary by court, govern the methods and timelines of filings. When a deviation is sought from such rules, it is a matter of discretion for the court to grant the request for leave.
