Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A judgment notwithstanding the verdict can be granted if there is an absence of any substantial evidence to support the verdict entered. This means that the judge must review the evidence presented at trial and determine whether there was enough evidence to support the jury’s verdict. If the judge concludes that there was not enough evidence to support the jury’s verdict, then the judge can grant the plaintiff’s motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict. The other choices are not relevant to a motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict.
