§ 5538. Appeals

Any party may appeal from a small claims judgment to superior court. The administrative judge shall assign the appeal to a district or superior judge who shall not have participated in any way in the decision being appealed. The appeal shall be heard and decided, based on the record made in the small claims court. No appeal as of right exists to the supreme court. On motion made to the supreme court by a party to the action, the supreme court may allow an appeal from the superior court. (Added 1983, No. 208 (Adj. Sess.), § 4; amended 1995, No. 181 (Adj.
