Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 2A:56-7

  • 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.
  • Remainder: An interest in property that takes effect in the future at a specified time or after the occurrence of some event, such as the death of a life tenant.
When real estate is partitioned in an action in the superior court, and process has been served or notice given as required by the practice of the court, or when the real estate is sold by virtue of an order made upon such partition proceedings, the partition or sale shall, unless reversed or set aside on appeal or other proceedings for review, be binding and conclusive upon all the cotenants and all persons claiming or to claim an interest in a share, in reversion or remainder notwithstanding any error or illegality in the proceedings for partition or sale.
