524	67	II. Standards	New trial: jury's decision not to be tampered with lightly (In re Columbia); discretion has limits — must be for specific, significant, proper reasons; factual sufficiency requires finding so against great weight as to be manifestly unjust, shock conscience, or clearly demonstrate bias (In re C.H., Pool). New trial order cannot parrot pro forma template — must provide reasonably specific explanation (In re Munsch, In re Toyota, In re United Scaffolding, In re Bent).
