§ 1146 New trial in action to recover real property.

If you're in a lawsuit about getting back real property (like land or a house) and you lose your case, you don't automatically get a second trial. The law only guarantees you one trial as a matter of right.

However, this doesn't mean you're completely out of options if you lose. You can still ask for a new trial, but you have to follow the same rules that apply to any other civil case. This means you'd need to show a valid legal reason, like a mistake in the trial or new evidence, to convince the court to give you another chance.
