Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 2A:15-61
- Affirmed: In the practice of the appellate courts, the decree or order is declared valid and will stand as rendered in the lower court.
- Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
- Appellate: About appeals; an appellate court has the power to review the judgement of another lower court or tribunal.
- State: extends to and includes any State, territory or possession of the United States, the District of Columbia and the Canal Zone. See New Jersey Statutes 1:1-2
- Verdict: The decision of a petit jury or a judge.
Where an appeal is taken from a judgment of any court of record of this state after verdict of a jury, and the judgment is affirmed, the prevailing party shall, unless the appellate court shall in express terms adjudge to the contrary, be entitled to double costs on the appeal.
