W. Va. R. Civ. P. 61
Harmless error
Unless justice requires otherwise, no error in admitting or excluding evidence—or any other error by the court or a party—is grounds for granting a new trial, for setting aside a verdict, or for vacating, modifying or otherwise disturbing a judgment or order. At every stage of the proceeding, the court shall disregard all errors and defects that do not affect any party’s substantial rights.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
