ANALYSIS
Motion for New Trial
A motion for new trial permits the trial court to “reexamine” any issue of fact or law, and is
the proper procedure to challenge a trial court judgment for judicial error whether the judgment is
based on law or fact or both. (See Wegner, et. al., CPG, Civil Trials and Evidence (TRG 2014),
§ 18:115, p. 18-29, citing Carney v. Simmonds (1957) 49 Cal. 2d 84, 90.)
