MNRCP Rule 61

From LegalLanding

Below is Rule 61 of the Minnesota Rules of Civil Procedure. Rule 61 deals with Harmless Error, and is indexed under Chapter VI, dealing with TRIALS.

Rule 61. No error in either the admission or the exclusion of evidence and no error or defect in any ruling or order or in anything done or omitted by the court or by any of the parties is ground for granting a new trial or for setting aside a verdict or for vacating, modifying, or otherwise disturbing a judgment or order, unless refusal to take such action appears to the court inconsistent with substantial justice. The court at every stage of the proceeding must disregard any error or defect in the proceeding which does not affect the substantial rights of the parties.
