Terms Used In Alabama Code 37-1-123
- 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.
- Appellate: About appeals; an appellate court has the power to review the judgement of another lower court or tribunal.
- Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.
- Pleadings: Written statements of the parties in a civil case of their positions. In the federal courts, the principal pleadings are the complaint and the answer.
- Testimony: Evidence presented orally by witnesses during trials or before grand juries.
- Transcript: A written, word-for-word record of what was said, either in a proceeding such as a trial or during some other conversation, as in a transcript of a hearing or oral deposition.
Within 30 days after the perfecting of the appeal and sooner if practicable, the Public Service Commission, through its president or any member thereof, or its secretary, shall certify to the appellate court under the seal of the commission a complete record or transcript of all the proceedings had before it, including all orders and pleadings together with a transcript of all oral testimony, and the original or a transcript of all documentary evidence taken in the proceeding in which the order appealed from was made. The time for certifying said transcript to said appellate court may be extended by an order of the judge thereof, for good cause shown.
