Terms Used In Missouri Laws 530.080

  • 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.
  • Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.

Any final judgment in prohibition shall be reviewable by a motion for a new trial, and by appeal, as in other civil actions; but in the case of an appeal from the judgment of any circuit court imposing a prohibition, the appeal shall not operate to discontinue or in any wise affect the force of the judgment as a stay of the proceedings in question, until such appeal be determined.
