LAWYERS DISAGREE
ON APPEALS RULE
Recent Decision of Judge
McDonough Supported,
Questions in Dispute

The question of rights of appeals
from the City Court to the Court
of Common Pleas or the Superior
Court which rights were supposedly
ruled out by changes in the General
Statutes is much discussed ques-
ton among local lawyers and law
yerS throughout the state.
Two opinions by judges in recent
cases are contained in the last issue
Of the Connecticut Law Journal but
one judge holds that the right of
appeal still exists and the other
judge disagrees.
The question has not yet been de-
cided in the Supreme Court.
In a Waterbury case Judge Nc
Donough of the Court of Common
Pleas holds that the right of appeal
from the City Court of Waterbury
to the Court of Common Pleas
therefore existing was not abolished
by the Minor Courts Act.
The judge holds that the section
of the act stating that appeals from.
courts of municipalities over $4,000
must be taken to the Supreme Court
of Errors was not the intention of
the Legislature which intended to
provide only an alternative method
of appeal.
The decision of Judge Inglis OF
the Superior Court in another case
holds that the right of appeal from
the City Court of New Britain to
the superior Court, therefore
granted by the charter of che City
of New Britain, was abolished by the
Minor Courts Act.
1t goes on to state that the Minor
Courts Act repealed by implication
all former charter provisions pro-
viding for appeals from minor
courts and substituted new and ex-
elusive methods of appeal.
