Terms Used In Missouri Laws 393.565

  • 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.

Applications for appeals shall be allowed and conducted in the manner provided in chapter 512; but no application for an appeal by the utility customer in default shall stay execution unless the utility customer in default gives bond, with security sufficient to secure the payment of all damages, costs and utility charges then due, and with condition to pay all subsequently accruing utility charges, if any, into court within ten days after such charges become due, pending determination of the appeal.
