Terms Used In Maine Revised Statutes Title 14 Sec. 1802

  • 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.
If an appeal to the law court or Superior Court is found by that court to have been frivolous and intended for delay, treble costs may be allowed to the prevailing party. [PL 2001, c. 81, §1 (AMD).]
