Notice of Appeal

A Notice of Appeal is a legal document filed by a party in a bankruptcy case to indicate their intention to appeal a decision or order of the bankruptcy court to a higher court. The notice must be filed within a certain time period after the entry of the order or judgment being appealed and must identify the specific order or judgment being appealed, the parties to the appeal, and the grounds for the appeal. The filing of a Notice of Appeal typically stays any further proceedings in the bankruptcy court related to the order or judgment being appealed, pending the outcome of the appeal. The party filing the appeal must also file a designation of the record on appeal and a statement of the issues to be presented on appeal, and must pay any required filing fees or obtain a waiver of the fees.
