Terms Used In New Hampshire Revised Statutes 232:20

  • 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.
When the report of the commissioners is returned into court any party whose interest is affected thereby may appear and be heard in relation to it; and it may be recommitted or accepted and judgment be rendered thereon, establishing the highway, alterations, contributions, apportionment or other matters reported upon. In case of appeal the decision of the selectmen may be affirmed, modified or reversed, according to such report.
