Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 2A:66-13

  • 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.
  • Defendant: In a civil suit, the person complained against; in a criminal case, the person accused of the crime.
  • Plaintiff: The person who files the complaint in a civil lawsuit.
No appeal or other proceeding shall affect the right of the plaintiff to immediate entry into such office or franchise in accordance with the judgment of the court or order entered in conformity therewith, provided the plaintiff, upon his entry, shall give bond to the defendant in such sum and with such surety as the court may approve, conditioned to repay to the defendant so much of the emoluments of the office or franchise during the plaintiff’s incumbency therein to which the defendant may be adjudged to be entitled, as well as the costs of the defendant, in the event of the reversal of the judgment of ouster of the defendant. Such bond shall be approved by a superior court judge and filed.
