Legal Question in Appeals and Writs in Indiana
In a class action suit after a settlement is reached and then one side appeals the decision to the Judge - isn't the opposing side suppose to me made aware of the grounds for the appeal or can that information just be kept between the Judge and those appealing?
Thank you,
Jeff Stephens

Your question doesn't make much sense. When a case settles, the outcome results from the parties' agreement. There is no decision to appeal. Even if there were an appealable decision, it would have been made *by* the judge and thus could not be appealed *to* her. Any appeal would go to a different court.
Perhaps what you have in mind isn't an appeal at all. You may be thinking of objections by some class members to a proposed settlement. That is not an appeals question, so if it is what you have in mind you should re-post it under litigation.
