161 So. 841 | Fla. | 1935
In the Seaboard Oil Co. v. Chalk, 112 Fla. 387, 150 So. 605, it was held that the. order vacating the order and judgment of nonsuit entered herein is analogous to an order granting a new trial. The statute section 4615 (2905), C. G. L., provides that when an order granting a new trial is reversed on writ of error, the appellate court “shall direct final judgment to be entered in the court below, for the party who had obtained the verdict in the court below, unless a motion in arrest of judgment, or for judgment non obstante veredicto, shall be made and prevail.’.’ If the order granting a new trial is affirmed on writ. of error, the cause is remanded for a new trial.
In writs of error to an order grant-' ing a new trial, the statute requires the court ’ to “review the said order.” Section 46151 (2905), C. G. L. Assignments of error cannot' enlarge the scope of the review fixed by the statute in allowing a writ of error to an order granting a new trial. As a writ of error to an order vacating a judgment of nonsuit is allowed only because of its analogy to an order granting a new trial, the scope of the appellate review is similar to that of an order granting a new trial.
Motion to recall mandate denied.
