venire facias de novo

venire facias de novo
/vanayriy feysh(iy)as diy nowvow/ A fresh or new venire, which the court grants when there has been some impropriety or irregularity in returning the jury, or where the verdict is so imperfect or ambiguous that no judgment can be given upon it, or where a judgment is reversed on error, and a new trial awarded. The ancient common-law mode of proceeding to a new trial was by a writ of venire facias de novo. The present day relief of "new trial" is intended to mitigate the severity of the proceeding to attaint. While a venire de novo and new trial are quite different, they are alike in that a new trial takes place in both. The material difference between them is that a venire de novo must be granted upon matters appearing upon the face of the record, but a new trial may be granted for things out of the record.
The terms "venire facias de novo" and "venire de novo" are used interchangeably to denote a new trial.
