No later than 10 days after entry of judgment the court, on its own, may order a new trial for any reason that would justify granting one on a partys motion. After giving the parties notice and an opportunity to be heard, the court may grant a timely motion for a new trial for a reason not stated in the motion.

On a motion for a new trial in an action tried without a jury, the court before which the action has been tried may open the judgment if one has been entered, take additional testimony, amend findings of fact and conclusions of law or make new findings and conclusions, and direct the entry of a new judgment.
