Yazoo & M.V.R. Co. v. Scott

In Yazoo & M.V.R. Co. v. Scott, 108 Miss. 871, 67 So. 491 (1915), though, the reasoning was broader than the facts. The court held that if the error only affects one issue of the case, but other issues are without error, there should be a remand for a new trial only as to those issues with errors. 67 So. at 494. Granting a new trial on certain issues should be done only when fair to both parties and the issues can clearly be separated. 67 So. at 498.
