Appeals Within District & Superior Court

An appeal within District and Superior Court is a bit different that the traditional appeal from Small Claims or to the Court of Appeals. An appeal within the lower court is less of an appeal or more of a request. Commonly referred to as a “Request for Reconsideration” these “requests” require a motion to the presiding lower court judge, asking them to overturn a judgement. 

The typical scenario for a “request” of this variety is for overturning default judgments. When a plaintiff files a lawsuit, the defendant has a specific time to respond by filing an answer. Often times the defendant will fail to file within the appropriate time, for one reason or another, leaving the plaintiff open to seek the default judgment. Typically, the default judgement grants the plaintiff the ability to collect from the defendant, anything that was originally sought when the lawsuit was filed. When the default judgement is granted, the attorneys at Vector Law Group can help.
