Terms Used In Alabama Code 37-1-154
- 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.
- Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
If the utility desires to take an appeal from the judgment of the trial court and to supersede the same, it shall give, in addition to security for costs, a bond with two or more individual sureties or one surety company, to be approved by the clerk or register of the court, which bond shall be in an amount and with the conditions to be prescribed by the judge, and the same shall be payable as prescribed by law.
