Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California
Small cl.:recourse if you lose superior ct. appeal
I recently lost a superior court appeal of a small claims judgment against me. It was on a statute of limitations question on which I am sure I am sure my position is legally correct. Since the superior court trial was a "trial de novo" do I have a right to appeal this "appeal" or is this now a decided issue. Or Can I institute a separate suit to get the issue to a higher court? Or is the thing now decided, and I'm out of luck

Re: recourse if you lose superior ct. appeal
You should be able to appeal the decision, but keep in mind that appeals can be a bit expensive (filing fees, postage and photocopying can be several hundred dollars or more, and you might want an attorney too) and that you may still lose. If the amount at stake is small enough, you might be better off just paying it.
If you want to pursue an appeal -- or at least discuss doing so -- please feel free to call me. I handle appeals in a variety of cases and might be able to help you here.
