Terms Used In Alabama Code 12-22-60
- 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.
- Damages: Money paid by defendants to successful plaintiffs in civil cases to compensate the plaintiffs for their injuries.
- Probate: Proving a will
If, by reason of negligence or delay of the clerk, register or probate judge, the record on appeal is not delivered to the clerk of the appellate court in time to be filed or if the record on appeal is so defective that the appellate court cannot proceed thereon, the clerk, register or probate judge forfeits to the party aggrieved the sum of $200.00 and is further liable to him, in an action on the case, for all damages sustained by his neglect or delay.
