Procedural History: The mother and widow of deceased resort guests took an action against the resort, its owner, and others because these two deceased guests lost their lives in boating accident. Mr. Watters, defendant and the owner of the resort, brought an action against the verdict for revised decision because the trial court found him guilty.
The case came in front of the court on action of defendants for decision against the verdict, for fresh trial pursuant based on Federal Rules of Civil Procedure's Rule 59, and for revised decision. The judges revisited a ruling on 28th September 1988, against defendants, as a result of the injuries which took place at Wildhorn Ranch Resort in a boating accident. Keeping in view many of issues which were raised in the post-trial actions of the defendants, before and during the trial, court made a revised decision. Moreover, the court also reviewed the actions of the defendants both individually and collectively, based on which it concluded that there is no need of neither a new nor an amended judgment of the trial against the verdict (Pollack, 2011).
