MOORE, Chief Justice.
The trial court erred in allowing the motion for a remittitur to be denied by operation of law without providing a statement of the reasons for the denial. We remand this case for the trial court to enter an order stating its reasons supporting the denial of the motion for a remittitur. See Love v. Johnson, 815 So.2d 499 (Ala. 2000). After entering that order, the trial court shall, within 30 days of the release of this opinion, make a return to this Court.
REMANDED WITH INSTRUCTIONS.
Houston, See, Brown, Johnstone, Harwood, Woodall, and Stuart, JJ., concur.
