From the Latin, trial de novo means a new trial. It can be an effective way for defendants to continue fighting their case after an unfavorable ruling. It is often used in traffic and small claims courts, but can be used in more formal proceedings.
A trial de novo is a new trial on an entire case, where both questions of fact and issues of law are determined as if there had been no trial in the first instance.
