—Triable Issue as to Damages

Only A summary judgment, interlocutory in charac- ter, may be rendered on the issue of liability alone, although there is a genuine issue as to damages. In such case the judicial authority shall order an immediate hearing before a judge trial referee, before the court, or before a jury, whichever may be proper, to determine the amount of the dam- ages. If the determination is by a jury, the usual procedure for setting aside the verdict shall be applicable. Upon the conclusion of these proceed- ings, the judicial authority shall forthwith render the appropriate summary judgment. (P.B. 1978-1997, Sec. 385.)
