§ 15-6-50(c). Granting renewed motion for judgment as a matter law--Conditional rulings--New trial motion.
(1) If the renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law, provided for in § 15-6-50(b), is granted, the court shall also rule on the motion for a new trial, if any, by determining whether it should be granted if the judgment is thereafter vacated or reversed, and shall specify the grounds for granting or denying the motion for the new trial. If the motion for a new trial is thus conditionally granted, the order thereon does not affect the finality of the judgment. In case the motion for a new trial has been conditionally granted and the judgment is reversed on appeal, the new trial shall proceed unless the Supreme Court has otherwise ordered. In case the motion for a new trial has been conditionally denied, the respondent on appeal may assert error in that denial; and if the judgment is reversed on appeal, subsequent proceedings shall be in accordance with the order of the Supreme Court.
(2) Any motion for a new trial under § 15-6-59 by a party against whom judgment as a matter of law is rendered shall be filed no later than 10 days after entry of the judgment.
