Here is the quote
then there's probably a significant question as to whether or not remittitur might be indicated

I'm not sure if the last word should be "in the case" or "indicated"
In the case makes more sense to me. However I stroked "indicated" but I was nervous and it was the first time ever (on my 20 years on this planet) that I heard the word remittitur (which i stroke REM/REM lol)
so plz help the newbie out.

You've got it spelled right.
http://dictionary.law.com/default2.asp?typed=remittitur&type=1

remittitur
n. 1) a judge's order reducing a judgment awarded by a jury when the award exceeds the amount asked for by the plaintiff (person who brought the suit). 2) an appeal's transmittal of a case back to the trial court so that the case can be retried, or an order entered consistent with the appeals court's decision (such as dismissing the plaintiff's case or awarding costs to the winning party on appeal).

I like REM/REM! That's some quick thinkin'!
It might be helpful to have more of the sentence, the rest of the sentence following the word "remittitur."
Basically, the Judge needs the transcript to see what the dr said. And then she, the judge, will either grant or deny the motion for remittitur.
After a goodnight's sleep, I'm pretty sure it's "in the case."
If you think otherwise, please let me know.
Yeah, I think it's "indicated." Attorneys like to use that word for "needed."
