question

At the close of all the evidence in a jury trial, Defendant moves for a directed verdict. After much argument, the court denies the motion. Subsequently, the jury returns a verdict for Plaintiff. The day after the jury returns its verdict, the court enters judgment for Plaintiff. One week later, Defendant moves to set aside the verdict and have judgment entered in accordance with its motion for directed verdict. In the motion, Defendant raises arguments that were not raised at trial. Plaintiff's counsel objects to the court even hearing the motion to set aside the verdict. Should the court consider the motion?

choices

  1. Yes, because Defendant has raised new grounds.
  2. Yes, because Defendant had ten days after the jury returned its verdict within which to move to set aside the verdict.
  3. No, because the court denied the motion for directed verdict rather than reserving ruling.
  4. No, because the court entered final judgment for Plaintiff before the motion to set aside the verdict was filed.
