A. No appeal under this act shall be permitted to interrupt or delay any action or the prosecution of any work, except where the appellant is entitled to a jury trial under the constitution of the state, in which case, only so much of the work shall be interrupted or delayed as would constitute a taking or damaging of the property of such appellant.

Terms Used In New Mexico Statutes 73-17-17

  • Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.
  • Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.

B. The right of appeal from orders and decrees of said court shall exist as in civil cases, except no proceeding to review an order or decree of the court, entered under the provisions of this act, shall be commenced after thirty (30) days from the entry of the order or decree sought to be reviewed.

C. The board shall have the same right as property owners to invoke the jurisdiction of the supreme court of the state of New Mexico to review any reviewable order or decree of the court made in any proceeding.

D. The failure to appeal from or seek a review of any order or decree of the court in any proceedings, within the time specified herein, shall constitute a waiver of any irregularity in the proceedings, and the remedies provided herein shall exclude all other remedies except as herein provided.
