Civil procedure

new trial

A motion for new trial is a procedure that allows the trial court to order a new trial to correct significant errors in the previous trial that prevented a party from receiving a fair trial.

In Nebraska, a motion for a new trial is governed by the Nebraska Revised Statutes and the Nebraska Court Rules. According to Nebraska law, a party may file a motion for a new trial within ten days after the verdict, decision, or final order has been rendered by the trial court. The grounds for a new trial can include errors of law occurring at the trial, the discovery of new evidence that could not have been obtained with reasonable diligence before the trial, misconduct of the jury or prevailing party, a verdict that is contrary to law or evidence, or any other reason that prevented the party from having a fair trial. The trial court has discretion to grant or deny the motion, and its decision can be appealed to a higher court. If the motion is granted, the court will order a new trial to rectify the significant errors identified. It's important for parties considering such a motion to consult with an attorney to ensure proper procedure and timing are followed.
