There is no time limit for granting a new trial by a judge in a non-record municipal court, as long as justice has not been done in the first trial.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not specified
• D. It depends

Answer: (B)

Post-trial relief is not open-ended. Even when a judge in a non-record municipal court has authority to grant a new trial to prevent injustice, that relief must be sought within a specific time frame set by rules or statutes. Those rules exist to provide finality and avoid endless delays, and they apply even when the court can act to fix an error on the spot. So the idea that there is no time limit is incorrect—the usual path is to file for a new trial (or equivalent post-trial relief) within the mandated period after judgment, and failing to do so typically bars the request. The exact deadline varies by jurisdiction, so it’s important to check the local rules for the precise timeframe.
