Terms Used In New Hampshire Revised Statutes 262:25
- 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.
- Director: shall mean the director of the division of motor vehicles of the department of safety. See New Hampshire Revised Statutes 259:20
- 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.
- Perfected: when used in reference to a security interest, shall mean that it is valid against third parties generally, subject only to specific statutory exceptions. See New Hampshire Revised Statutes 259:73
An appeal to the superior court of Merrimack county may be had from any final action or order of the director pursuant to this chapter within 30 days of the date of the final action or order. All findings of the director upon all questions of fact properly before him shall be deemed prima facie lawful and reasonable and shall not be disturbed on appeal, unless the court finds that they could not reasonably have been made. The action or order appealed from shall not be set aside or vacated unless the party appealing shall prove that the director acted illegally with respect to jurisdiction, authority, or observance of law. An appeal to the supreme court of New Hampshire may be had from any action or order of the superior court entered under N.H. Rev. Stat. § 262:25 in the same manner and form as such an appeal would be noted, perfected, and tried in any other criminal action.
