Notice Of Appeal From Trial Court {CC-1345}

CC-1345 - NOTICE OF APPEAL FROM TRIAL COURT. This form is used to formally notify the Court of Appeals of Virginia that a party (the appellant) is appealing a final judgment, order, or decree issued by a Circuit Court. This form is filed after a decision is made by the trial court, indicating that the appellant seeks to have the decision reviewed by a higher court. Key elements of the form include identifying the parties involved, the specific judgment being appealed, and the court case number. The appellant must provide details such as whether a transcript or statement of facts will be filed, and if it’s a criminal or parental rights termination case, additional specific information is required. The form also includes a certificate with details about the parties, their counsel (if applicable), and how the notice of appeal was communicated to all parties involved (such as opposing counsel or a guardian ad litem, if relevant). The form serves as a reminder that a $50 filing fee must accompany the notice unless the appellant qualifies for an exemption. If the fee is not received within 10 days, the appeal may be dismissed. VA CODE § 17.1-407, Rule 5A:6. www.FormsWorkflow.com
