NEW TRIAL, § 96 — jurisdiction to grant. Where plaintiff recovered a money judgment in October 1946, on a contract for fees for services rendered in effecting reductions in defendant's utility rates, and defendant moved for a new trial on November 4, and motion was heard but undisposed of, and, on plaintiff's motion, judgment was reduced and satisfied of record on December 13, and plaintiff brought a second action in October 1947, for subsequently accruing fees, municipal court of City of Chicago did not have jurisdiction in December 1947, to grant defendant's motion for new trial in prior action and to vacate judgment therein and direct plaintiff to repay defendant money received in satisfaction thereof.
