Text

If the motion for judgment as a matter of law is denied, the party who prevailed on that motion may, as respondent, assert grounds entitling the party to a new trial in the event the Supreme Court concludes that the trial court erred in denying the motion for judgment. If the Supreme Court reverses the judgment, nothing in § 15-6-50 precludes it from determining that the respondent is entitled to a new trial, or from directing the trial court to determine whether a new trial shall be granted.
