Terms Used In Maryland Code, COURTS AND JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS 12-501
- 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.
- Testimony: Evidence presented orally by witnesses during trials or before grand juries.
(a) A party may appeal to the Court of Special Appeals from a final judgment of an orphans’ court.
(b) However, if the final judgment was given or made in a summary proceeding, and on the testimony of witnesses, an appeal is not allowed under this section unless the party desiring to appeal immediately gives notice of the party’s intention to appeal and requests that the testimony be reduced to writing.
(c) In such case the testimony shall be reduced to writing at the cost of the party requesting it.
