Rule 6-704. Harmless error; clerical mistakes.
A. Harmless error. Error in either the admission or the exclusion of evidence and
error or defect in any ruling, order, act or omission by the court or by any of the parties
is not grounds for granting a new trial or for setting aside a verdict, for vacating,
modifying or otherwise disturbing a judgment or order, unless refusal to take any such
action appears to the court inconsistent with substantial justice.
B. Clerical mistakes. Clerical mistakes in final orders or other parts of the file and
errors therein arising from oversight or omission may be corrected by the magistrate at
any time on the judge's own initiative or on the request of any party after such notice to
the opposing party, if any, as the magistrate orders.
