Terms Used In New Hampshire Revised Statutes 540:22

  • 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.
  • Complaint: A written statement by the plaintiff stating the wrongs allegedly committed by the defendant.
  • Damages: Money paid by defendants to successful plaintiffs in civil cases to compensate the plaintiffs for their injuries.
If the appellant neglects to enter his appeal or to produce such copies the court, on complaint of the appellee, shall affirm the former judgment, with additional damages and costs.
