Terms Used In Michigan Laws 213.128
- 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.
- Damages: Money paid by defendants to successful plaintiffs in civil cases to compensate the plaintiffs for their injuries.
- Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
The said appeal may be brought on for hearing at any term of the supreme court, and said court may affirm, or for any substantial error reverse the judgment, either in whole or in part, and may grant a new trial, either upon the whole case or upon such parts as the court may deem just. The said court shall allow the prevailing party his reasonable costs and expenses to be taxed, and all costs, damages and expenses awarded to the city, if it so elect, may be applied on or deducted from the compensation, if any, to be paid, or execution may issue on the judgment. Damages may be awarded against a party appealing without reasonable cause.
