Terms Used In 7 Guam Code Ann. § 25201
- 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.
- Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.
An appeal to the Supreme Court may be taken from the Superior Court in any case in which the Supreme Court has jurisdiction as set forth in § 2202 of this Title.
SOURCE: CCP § 963 amended by P.L. 9-256 and P.L. 12-85. Because of the Olsen case, references here must necessarily refer to the Appellate Division of the District Court of Guam until the new Supreme Court is implemented.
NOTE: No § 964 is contained in the original Code of Civil Procedure.
