Terms Used In Missouri Laws 514.280

  • 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.
  • Appellate: About appeals; an appellate court has the power to review the judgement of another lower court or tribunal.
  • Attachment: A procedure by which a person's property is seized to pay judgments levied by the court.
  • Transcript: A written, word-for-word record of what was said, either in a proceeding such as a trial or during some other conversation, as in a transcript of a hearing or oral deposition.

In all cases of appeal in the supreme court and the court of appeals, it shall be the duty of the court, whenever the transcript of a record shall contain any unnecessary matter had before the inferior court, to retax the bill of costs of the clerk of the inferior court, although no motion for that purpose is made by either party; and when the fees for such unnecessary matter contained in the transcript of the record shall have been paid to the clerk of the inferior court, the appellate court shall order the same to be refunded, which order may be enforced by attachment.
