Terms Used In Michigan Laws 105.17
- 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.
- Damages: Money paid by defendants to successful plaintiffs in civil cases to compensate the plaintiffs for their injuries.
- 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.
- Probate: Proving a will
- Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
Upon filing the return to the probate court, as mentioned in the preceding section, the circuit court shall have jurisdiction of the case. The parties may proceed to trial by jury without reference to any term of court upon the question as to the amount of damages to be awarded; but the finding of the jury before the probate court as to the necessity of taking the land shall be held to be conclusive. The appeal of 1 or more persons interested in any judgment of confirmation shall not in any way affect said judgment as to other persons interested therein who do not appeal.
