[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Judge's Name] [Judge's Designation] [Montana Court Name] [Montana Court Address] [City, State, Zip] Re: Motion for Auditor or New Trial and Prejudgment Interest Case Name: [Plaintiff's Name] vs. [Defendant's Name] Case Number: [Case Number] Your Honor, I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing on behalf of my client, [Plaintiff's Name], to submit this Motion for Auditor or New Trial and Prejudgment Interest in the above-mentioned case. The purpose of this motion is to seek a fair and just resolution for my client, considering the circumstances and the damages suffered. In support of this motion, I would like to bring to your attention the following points: 1. Background: Provide a brief overview of the case, outlining the parties involved, the relevant events, and the nature of the claim. Explain the damages suffered by the plaintiff and the basis for seeking additional compensation through auditor or a new trial. 2. Legal Basis for Motion: Describe the legal grounds on which the motion is being made, referring to relevant sections of the Montana Statutes or case laws. Address any applicable rules or procedures that allow for a motion of this nature, emphasizing the rights of the plaintiff to fair compensation and to seek legal redress. 3. Auditor: Explain the concept of auditor, whereby the court has the power to increase the amount of damages awarded by the jury if it is deemed inadequate. Argue why the damages awarded are insufficient in light of the evidence presented, the severity of the injuries or losses suffered, and any economic or non-economic factors impacting the plaintiff's quality of life. 4. New Trial: If auditor is not applicable or available, request a new trial on the basis of insufficient damages awarded. Articulate why a new trial is necessary, citing errors or irregularities in the trial proceedings, new evidence that has since come to light, or any other relevant factor that may have influenced the jury's decision and adversely impacted the plaintiff's chances of receiving a just compensation. 5. Prejudgment Interest: Seek an award of prejudgment interest, which compensates the plaintiff for the time value of money from the date of the injury or loss until the date of the judgment. Explain the rationale behind prejudgment interest and illustrate the impact it can have on ensuring a fair and equitable resolution of the case. In conclusion, I believe that my client, [Plaintiff's Name], merits an auditor to the damages awarded, or alternatively, a new trial. Additionally, I respectfully request the court to award prejudgment interest to compensate for the delayed resolution of this matter. My client has diligently pursued their legal rights, and a fair and just resolution would provide the necessary closure and compensation they are entitled to under Montana law. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust in your judicial wisdom to review this motion carefully and make a just decision. I am available for any further clarification or to provide any additional documentation required. Sincerely, [Your Name]
