“The Supreme Court or any other court of appellate jurisdiction may affirm, modify, vacate, set aside or reverse any judgment, decree, or order of a court lawfully brought before it for review, and may remand the cause and direct the entry of such appropriate judgment, decree, or order ... as may be just under the circumstances.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““ ‘[I]f it should clearly appear that the jury have committed a gross error, or have acted from improper motives, or have given damages excessive in relation to the person or the injury, it is as much the duty of the court to interfere, to prevent the wrong, as in any other case.’ This language * * * has become, we think, horn-book law.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“As Judge Learned Hand observed in Miller v. Maryland Cas.
