Terms Used In Missouri Laws 512.090

  • Appellate: About appeals; an appellate court has the power to review the judgement of another lower court or tribunal.
  • Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.

If a supersedeas bond is not filed within the time specified, or if the bond filed is found insufficient, and if the action is not yet transferred to the appellate court, a bond may be filed at such time before the action is so transferred to the appellate court, as may be fixed by the trial court. After the action is so transferred, application for leave to file a bond may be made only in the appellate court.
