Your Right to Appeal a Parking Ticket
You have the right to appeal the final decision of the Court by filing a Notice of Appeal within 14 calendar days of the judgment. You are not required to pay the fine or post the bond to exercise your right to appeal. However, if you choose to not pay the fine on the day the judgment is entered or make arrangements to pay, the Court will enter a default judgment against you and additional fees will be charged.
An appeal is a legal process where the Superior Court reviews the decision of the lower court (Justice or Municipal). If your hearing WAS recorded, than that is what the Court official will listen to and base their decision on. If your case WAS NOT recorded, than you can request a new hearing. You are NOT allowed to present new evidence or testimony. You are responsible for all fees and charges related to your appeal.
