Question

Martin files a suit against Nichelle in a state court over payment due on a short-term employment contract. The case proceeds to trial, after which the court renders a verdict. The case is appealed to an appellate court.

Answer 1

The case is appealed to an appellate court if the losing party pays the judgment.

Explanation:

• If the decision given by the state court is not deemed to be acceptable by any of the involved parties, the party can move to the appellate court to seek a decision that they consider to be just.
• In this case, if the losing party has to pay the judgment that it believes is not legitimate to be sought from it anymore, it can appeal in the appellate court.
