1. For a new trial or rehearing,
2. For leave to amend pleadings,
3. For leave to file new or additional pleadings,
4. To amend the record, or
5. For continuance of the action; or
(b) Shall sustain or overrule any motion to dismiss the action

may be assigned as error upon any appeal from the final judgment or order in the action. The appellate court shall hear and determine the matter so assigned under like rules as in other actions.

59.33 Quashing appeals; power of appellate court.—Appellate courts shall have power to quash appeals in all cases in which appeals do not lie, or where they are taken against good faith or merely for delay, and may decree in such case damages against the appellant not exceeding 10 percent.
History.—s. 13, Feb. 10, 1832; s. 50, ch. 1096, 1861; RS 1279; GS 1709; s. 13, ch. 5898, 1909; RGS 2920; CGL 4639; s. 33, ch. 22854, 1945.
59.35 Judgment; power of appellate court to direct a new trial upon one or more issues.—An appellate court may, in reversing a judgment of a lower court brought before it for review by appeal, by the order of reversal, if the error for which reversal is sought is such as to require a new trial, direct that a new trial be had on all the issues shown by the record or upon a part of such issues only. When a reversal is had, with direction for new trial on a part of the issues, all other issues shall be deemed settled conclusively in favor of the appellee.

59.45 Misconception of remedy; Supreme Court.—If an appeal be improvidently taken where the remedy might have been more properly sought by certiorari, this alone shall not be a ground for dismissal; but the notice of appeal and the record thereon shall be regarded and acted on as a petition for certiorari duly presented to the Supreme Court.
History.—s. 1, ch. 23826, 1947.
59.46 Attorney’s fees.—In the absence of an expressed contrary intent, any provision of a statute or of a contract entered into after October 1, 1977, providing for the payment of attorney’s fees to the prevailing party shall be construed to include the payment of attorney’s fees to the prevailing party on appeal.
History.—s. 1, ch. 73-84; s. 1, ch. 77-76; s. 1, ch. 83-214.
