§ 25-1936.Order of remittitur deemed a final order.

Section 25-1936 answers a specific question about remittitur orders: are they final enough to appeal on their own? In an action at law in the district court, when a jury returns a verdict for the recovery of money and the court orders the prevailing party to remit part of that verdict — whether as a condition of letting the reduced verdict stand or for some other reason — that order of remittitur counts as a final order.

Being a final order means the party affected may prosecute an appeal from it to the Court of Appeals, rather than having to wait for some later judgment to become appealable. The section takes care to preserve what came before it: nothing here changes the rights parties have on appeal under section 25-1929, which lets a party who complies with a remittitur still argue on appeal that the remittitur should not have been required.
