Rule text

Unless justice requires otherwise, no error in admitting or excluding evidence--or any other error by the court or a party--is grounds for granting a new trial, for setting aside a verdict, or for vacating, modifying or otherwise disturbing a judgment or order. At every stage of the proceeding, the court shall disregard all errors and defects that do not affect any party's substantial rights.
