Copy as parenthetical citation

When a finding of facts made and returned to any court by an auditor or a committee, in the judgment of the court or of the Supreme Court, is incomplete or insufficient, the court may thereupon, unless objection is made by all the parties to the action, recommit the cause of action and the report to the same auditor or committee to complete and perfect the report and to return it to the court for acceptance.

(1949 Rev., S. 8174; P.A. 82-160, S. 165.)

History: P.A. 82-160 made minor changes in wording.

Where material facts not found, motion to recommit is proper; 87 C. 70; but should not ordinarily be recommitted to find facts necessary to present rulings of committee; 85 C. 237; and, if all facts found, court may correct account without recommitting. 86 C. 199; 87 C. 241. Where report omits facts necessary to present claims of law, proper course is to remonstrate and ask recommittal; 91 C. 198; so, where facts involved in rulings on evidence are omitted. 92 C. 193; 95 C. 337; Id., 538.
