Did You Lose Your Trial Or Did The New Jersey Special Civil Part Refuse To Vacate A Default Judgment In A New Jersey Special Civil Part Case And You Still Want A Trial?

 If you disagree with the trial court’s decision, such as if a judgment is entered against you at trial or your request to vacate a default judgment is denied, you may ask the Special Civil Part to reconsider its decision.  To do so, you must file papers with the Special Civil Part, called a motion for reconsideration.  In some cases, the motion for reconsideration must be made in 20 days from the date of the court’s order that caused you to lose your case and/or which entered judgment against you.  Motions for reconsideration must generally meet certain requirements.  If you intend to file such a motion, you should seriously consider consulting a New Jersey attorney who is experienced in preparing such motions. 

If your motion for reconsideration is unsuccessful or if you do not believe that a motion for reconsideration shall be successful, as well as or instead of filing a motion for reconsideration, you may appeal the case to a higher court -- the Appellate Division of the Superior Court.  There are very strict deadlines for filing appeals.   To appeal a final judgment that resolves all issues in the case, you may file a notice of appeal and other required documents with the Appellate Division within 45 days from the date of judgment and pay a fee to the Appellate Division – for example, Special Civil Part appeals are not heard by the Special Civil Part and you should not try to file appellate papers with the Special Civil Part!   As part of your appeal, you usually must also prepare a written court transcript request and order a court transcript from the appropriate court that decided the matter against you and pay a fee for it.  Appeals are some of the most complex proceedings in the New Jersey Special Civil Part system.  The New Jersey Courts normally has forms available on the worldwide web.  However, neither court forms, websites nor advice from court personnel are good substitutes for a competent attorney’s legal services.  Each case has its own particular legal issues and therefore, its own challenges.   If you can afford an attorney, it is best to have the attorney perform the steps necessary to take an appeal.  Appeals from orders or judgments that are not final are called “interlocutory appeals” and the procedure for such appeals is somewhat different than those for appeals from final judgments or orders.
