Terms Used In Utah Code 78B-5-810

  • 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.
  • Appellate: About appeals; an appellate court has the power to review the judgement of another lower court or tribunal.
     If a surety on an appeal executed to stay proceedings upon a money judgment pays the judgment, either with or without action, after its affirmance by the appellate court, the surety is subrogated to the rights of the judgment creditor, and entitled to control, enforce, and satisfy the judgment in all respects as if the surety had recovered the same.
