In Re United Scaffolding, Inc., Relator

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the trial court's new‑trial order was insufficient because it relied on vague language and the ambiguous use of "and/or," and therefore conditionally granted mandamus to vacate the order while denying relief to compel judgment on the jury verdict. Justice Wainwright filed a concurring opinion disagreeing with some of the majority's reasoning about the trial record and emphasizing the constitutional importance of jury trials.
