Terms Used In Michigan Laws 128.56
- Affirmed: In the practice of the appellate courts, the decree or order is declared valid and will stand as rendered in the lower court.
- 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.
- in writing: shall be construed to include printing, engraving, and lithographing; except that if the written signature of a person is required by law, the signature shall be the proper handwriting of the person or, if the person is unable to write, the person's proper mark, which may be, unless otherwise expressly prohibited by law, a clear and classifiable fingerprint of the person made with ink or another substance. See Michigan Laws 8.3q
- Verdict: The decision of a petit jury or a judge.
Any lot owner or grave owner whose property may be taken, and any municipality or person, party to the proceedings under this act, considering himself aggrieved, may appeal from the order of the court confirming the verdict of the jury or order of the court made at the proceedings without a jury by filing in writing with the clerk of said court notice of such appeal within 5 days after the confirmation or order, and filing a bond in said court, to be approved by the judge thereof, conditioned for the prosecution of said appeal to judgment, and the payment of all costs, damages and expenses that may be awarded against him in case the judgment or confirmation shall be affirmed. Such appeal shall be perfected within the same time and prosecuted as far as practicable like an appeal in chancery.
