Practice point: The motion here raises issues of errors in the trial court's charge and verdict sheet. In its instructions, the trial court must state the law relevant to the particular facts in issue. A set of instructions that confuses or incompletely conveys the appropriate
legal principles to be applied in a case requires a new trial.
Student note: In considering such a motion, the court will decide whether substantial
justice has been done, and must look to common sense, experience, and
sense of fairness in deciding the motion.
