Terms Used In Missouri Laws 511.750

  • 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.
  • Writ: A formal written command, issued from the court, requiring the performance of a specific act.

The judgment may be enforced in the same manner as if it had been rendered in an action, unless otherwise provided in the submission; and, in like manner, shall be with costs, and subject to an appeal or writ of error, unless otherwise provided in the submission.
