Terms Used In Florida Statutes 77.27

  • 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.
  • Plaintiff: The person who files the complaint in a civil lawsuit.
  • Writ: A formal written command, issued from the court, requiring the performance of a specific act.
If the writ is dismissed or plaintiff fails to sustain his or her claim, an appeal from the judgment is not permitted until the attorney fee provided in s. 77.28 has been paid.
