  • 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.
  • Bureau: means any of the operating bureaus established in the department pursuant to the provisions of §. See Connecticut General Statutes 13b-2
  • Commissioner: means the Commissioner of Transportation appointed pursuant to this chapter. See Connecticut General Statutes 13b-2
  • Complaint: A written statement by the plaintiff stating the wrongs allegedly committed by the defendant.
