Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 2A:17-8

  • 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.
If a party against whom a judgment has been rendered appeals therefrom and the party in whose favor the judgment has been rendered brings an action on the judgment and recovers, execution shall not issue on the second judgment until the appeal from the first judgment has been determined.

L.1951 (1st SS), c.344.
