11. New trial
(1) Where on the hearing of an appeal under this Act it appears to the
Court of Civil Appeal that a new trial ought to be granted, the Court of Civil
Appeal may, if it thinks fit, order that the judgment or order appealed from
be set aside, and that a new trial be had.
(2) A new trial shall not be granted on the ground of improper admission
or rejection of evidence unless in the opinion of the Court of Civil Appeal
some substantial wrong or miscarriage of justice has been thereby occasioned, and if it appears to the Court of Civil Appeal that such wrong or miscarriage of justice affects part only of the matters in controversy, or some or
one only of the parties, the Court of Civil Appeal may give final judgment as
to part thereof, or as to some or one only of the parties, and direct a new
trial as to the other part only, or as to the other party or parties.
