Description
This case arose out of a collision in which the defendants car ran into the rear of the plaintiffs car at an intersection at about 1300 North and 3rd West in Provo in the afternoon on April 1, 1964. The question of the defendants liability was resolved and on February 15, 1965 a trial was had to the court on the issue of damages only. At its Conclusion the Judge stated from the bench that he thought $2,000 damages would be a fair amount, plus special damages of medical expenses incurred of $126.20. A minute entry was made and entered accordingly. Two days later, on February 17 the Judge filed a signed document entitled "Reconsideration," reciting that he had "reconsidered the law and the testimony and concluded that the plaintiff should have the sum of $4,800 as general damages." Findings, Conclusions and a judgment in the latter amount were signed and filed on March 5, 1965. On May 4, 1965 the court signed and filed an order granting a motion for a new trial which had been timely filed by the defendant. One week later, on May 11, 1965, plaintiffs counsel filed a motion to reconsider and set aside the order granting a new trial. This motion was heard and taken under advisement on June 4, 1965. On September 3, 1965 the Judge signed a "Memorandum Decision" stating that the order for a new trial was vacated and that the judgment for $4,800 was reinstated.
