What are the reasons the trial court gave for granting a new trial on a defamation claim?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Romandia v. Engineered Polymer Solutions, Inc., C063858 (Cal. App. 2012):
4. Romandia argues for the first time in his reply brief that the reasons the trial court gave for granting a new trial on his defamation claim were "inadequate." We decline to address this argument. (See Lester v. Lennane (2000) 84 Cal.App.4th 536, 595 [contentions raised for the first time in a reply brief are deemed forfeited].)
