first-blush rule

A quick definition of first-blush rule:

The first-blush rule is a law that allows a court to cancel a verdict if it seems like the jury made their decision based on strong emotions or unfair bias. This means that if the verdict seems unreasonable or unfair, the court can take action to make things right.

A more thorough explanation:

The first-blush rule is a principle in common law that allows a court to overturn a verdict if it appears to be excessive and caused by the jury's passion or prejudice. This means that if a verdict seems to be based on emotions rather than facts, it can be set aside.

In a personal injury case, the jury awards the plaintiff $10 million in damages, even though the evidence presented only supports a much lower amount. The judge may use the first-blush rule to set aside the verdict and order a new trial.

This example illustrates how the first-blush rule can be used to prevent juries from making decisions based on emotions rather than facts. The judge can use this rule to ensure that the verdict is fair and based on the evidence presented in court.
