Extension Denial for New Trial Motion Based on Witness Credibility Overturned
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA lower court improperly denied a request for an extension of time to file a motion for a new trial, which was based on newly discovered evidence regarding the credibility of a key witness, because the court failed to properly assess the materiality of the evidence and the diligence of the party seeking the extension. The reviewing court found that the trial court's denial was an abuse of discretion as the evidence, which contradicted the witness's testimony on a crucial point, could have affected the outcome, and the party was not entirely at fault for the delay in discovery, thus warranting the allowance of the motion to extend the filing deadline.
