Terms Used In New Hampshire Revised Statutes 231:35

  • 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.
  • petitioner: shall mean plaintiff. See New Hampshire Revised Statutes 21:51
Upon the filing of an appeal on the assessment of damages the selectmen may deposit with the clerk of the superior court in which the appeal is entered a sum of money equal to the damages assessed to the petitioner, and interest shall not accrue thereafter on such sum but shall only accure on the amount of final judgment in excess thereof.
