judgment notwithstanding the verdict
- judgment notwithstanding the verdict
-
A judgment rendered upon a motion made after verdict but before rendition of judgment on the verdict in which the applicant prevails in showing that he is entitled to judgment under the law notwithstanding the verdict returned against him by the jury. 30A Am J Rev ed Judgm § 292.
Although the motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict was available only to the plaintiff at common law, it is now generally available to both parties, either as a result of judicial relaxation of the common-law rule confining the remedy to the plaintiff, or as a result of express statutory provisions granting the remedy to defendants. 30A Am J Rev ed Judgm § 292.
