In Re United Scaffolding, Inc., Relator

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that a trial court’s order granting a new trial must contain a reasonably specific, legally valid explanation and conditionally granted United Scaffolding’s writ of mandamus, ordering the trial court to vacate its ambiguous order; it denied United’s request that the trial court render judgment on the jury verdict. Justice Wainwright filed a concurring opinion disagreeing with some of the majority’s propositions.
