Terms Used In Maryland Code, INSURANCE 20-607

  • 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.
  • Defendant: In a civil suit, the person complained against; in a criminal case, the person accused of the crime.
An appeal to the appropriate court may be taken from a final order, decree, or judgment of a court made under this subtitle:

(1) that debars a claimant from further proceeding against the Fund or denies the claim;

(2) that awards the claimant less than that to which the claimant believes the claimant is entitled; or

(3) except as provided in § 20-605 of this subtitle, that causes the defendant, the uninsured party, the Fund, or other party to be aggrieved.
