This form is the response by the defendant to the motion for a judgement notwithstanding the verdict, or, in the alternative, for a new trial filed by the plaintiff.
Absolutely! There’s usually a deadline that you need to stick to, often within a few weeks after the trial's conclusion, so you can't drag your feet.
Yes, if the judge denies your motion, you can usually take the next step and appeal the decision, but it can get a bit complicated.
You should provide clear reasons for why you think the jury's decision was off track, along with any supporting evidence or legal arguments to back you up.
It can vary, but generally, a judge will take some time to consider the request and issue a ruling, which could be a few weeks to a couple of months.
The court will review the motion, and then both sides may get a chance to argue their points before the judge makes a call.
You can file it if you believe something went wrong during the trial — like a mistake made by the judge or new evidence popping up that could change the outcome.
It's a request made to a judge to overturn the jury's decision in a case, basically asking them to say 'Hold on, that verdict doesn't make sense!'
