A Bill of Review is typically filed to correct which of the following?

• A. A verdict or judgment previously entered
• B. A legislative error
• C. A court order
• D. A constitutional issue

Answer: (A)

A bill of review is a post-judgment remedy used to undo or reopen a judgment that has already been entered. It targets the verdict or judgment itself, usually arguing that new facts or grounds—such as fraud, accident, surprise, or lack of jurisdiction—were not available or could not have been raised earlier and that those issues would have prevented the judgment from being entered. It’s a way to obtain relief when ordinary appeals aren’t adequate. It is not about correcting legislative acts, challenging a separate court order, or addressing constitutional questions; those issues are handled through other legal avenues. So, the action is filed to correct the verdict or judgment previously entered.
