Judgment of the Court

(a) Where a complaint embracing matters call- ing for both legal and equitable relief is by order of the judicial authority tried to the jury, the judicial authority may render judgment, either for legal or equitable relief or both, not inconsistent with the verdict. (b) When an issue or issues of fact are deter- mined by the verdict, the judge presiding at the trial shall, if possible, upon the evidence produced and after hearing the claims and arguments of counsel, determine the other issues in the case and render final judgment at the session at which the verdict is rendered. (c) If additional evidence is required, the judge presiding at the trial shall, if possible, hear this and render final judgment at said session. (P.B. 1978-1997, Sec. 309.)
