Terms Used In Maine Revised Statutes Title 5 Sec. 3360-G

  • 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.
Only a claimant under this chapter may appeal a decision of the board. An appeal of the board’s final decisions must be to the Superior Court as provided for other administrative actions under chapter 375, subchapter VII. Board decisions and the amount of awards must be upheld unless the court finds no rational basis for the decision or that the board abused its discretion. [PL 1997, c. 378, §11 (AMD).]
