Steps 2 through 6 only apply to Courts of Record. Courts not of record stop at Step 1.
- What is it?
- The Record on Appeal contains all the documents that were filed in your case, any exhibits that were submitted at a hearing or trial, and a record of what was said at the trial in a transcript.
- Why is this needed?
- An appellate court may not consider any new facts or evidence. It must rely solely on the facts that were presented to the City Court.
- When will this happen?
- The City Court clerk will send the Record on Appeal within 42 days from when the Notice of Appeal was filed. The Record will not be sent if you failed to complete one of the steps in the checklist.
