How do you appeal a judgment of the conciliation court?
Appeal procedures are more complex than Conciliation Court rules. Although it is not required, it is suggested that the appealing party be represented by an attorney. Conciliation Court removal by a corporation MUST be prepared by an attorney. Court Administration staff are not attorneys and cannot practice law. Therefore, they cannot assist you in preparing your appeal. However, forms are available at the Court Administrators Office.

Your case may be appealed (removed) to the District Court if either you or the defendant are dissatisfied with the Conciliation Court judgment and all parties appeared at the Conciliation Court hearing. To do this, file a Demand for Removal, an Affidavit of Good Faith, and an Affidavit of Service with the Court Administrator within 23 days of the date the judgment was mailed. You must also pay an additional filing fee. Rules of Civil Procedure apply to cases removed to District Court where proceedings are more formal.
