Terms Used In Connecticut General Statutes 50a-140
- 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.
- Settlement: Parties to a lawsuit resolve their difference without having a trial. Settlements often involve the payment of compensation by one party in satisfaction of the other party's claims.

(2) “Interim award” means any order of interim measures issued by: (A) An arbitral tribunal of the Permanent Court of Arbitration; or (B) an arbitral tribunal of the International Center for the Settlement of Investment Disputes.
