Opinion
No. 1991598.
Decided March 2, 2001. Opinion on Return from Remand September 14, 2001.
Appeal from Greene Circuit Court (CV-97-59).
Byron E. House of Cockrell and Cockrell, Tuscaloosa, for appellant.
B. Wayne Randall and Laurie K. Pratt-Johns of Donald , Randall and Donald, Tuscaloosa; and Robert H. Turner, Marion, for appellees.
The trial court erred in allowing the motion for a remittitur to be denied by operation of law without providing a statement of the reasons for the denial. We remand this case for the trial court to enter an order stating its reasons supporting the denial of the motion for a remittitur. See Love v. Johnson, 815 So.2d 499 (Ala. 2000). After entering that order, the trial court shall, within 30 days of the release of this opinion, make a return to this Court.
REMANDED WITH INSTRUCTIONS.
Houston, See, Brown, Johnstone, Harwood, Woodall, and Stuart, JJ., concur.
