什么是J.N.O.V

屈文生
Judgment notwithstanding the verdict, or J.N.O.V. for short (English "Judgment" + Latin Non Obstante Veredicto) is the practice in American courts whereby the presiding judge in a civil case may overrule the decision of a jury（推翻陪审团的裁决）and reverse or amend their verdict（陪审团裁决称为verdict）. Requested in civil cases, this remedy permits the judge to exercise discretion(自由裁量权) to alter a judgment which cannot stand as a matter of law. A losing attorney’s motion for a J.N.O.V. is rarely granted by judges, and only in cases, for example, where a jury awards civil damages（损害赔偿金） that are grossly excessive, grossly inadequate, or wholly unsupportable by law. In criminal cases in the U.S., only the defendant（被告人） (and not the prosecution) may move for a J.N.O.V.(不顾陪审团裁决之判决)
