  • Appellate: About appeals; an appellate court has the power to review the judgement of another lower court or tribunal.
  • Defendant: In a civil suit, the person complained against; in a criminal case, the person accused of the crime.

Any party to said proceedings, whether petitioner, defendant, or intervenor, dissatisfied with the judgment of the court, may appeal therefrom to the supreme court in accordance with the Alabama Rules of Appellate Procedure.
