What does additur mean in court?
An additur (Latin: it is added to) is a legal term referring to the practice of a trial judge adding damages additional to the original amount awarded by the jury. It is not allowed in U.S. federal courts, as held by Dimick vs. Schiedt, 293 U.S. 474 (1935).

Schiedt that additur violates the Seventh Amendment and is not permissible in federal courts ; however, some state courts do permit additur.

What is the difference between additur and remittitur?
While both additur and remittitur adjust jury awards, they work in opposite directions. Additur increases the damages when the award is too low, benefiting the plaintiff. Remittitur, on the other hand, reduces an excessive award, benefiting the defendant.
