A Washington Notice of Appeal — Civil and Small Claim is a legal document that is filed with the court when an individual wishes to appeal a lower court ruling in Washington State. The notice must be filed within 30 days of the judgment or order being entered in the lower court. In Washington, two types of appeals exist: civil appeals and small claim appeals. A civil appeal is filed when a party is dissatisfied with the outcome of a civil case heard in a lower court. The Notice of Appeal must include the name of the court being appealed from, the names of the parties involved, and the date of the order or judgment being appealed. A small claim appeal is filed when a party is unsatisfied with the outcome of a small claims court case. The Notice of Appeal must include the name of the court being appealed from, the names of the parties involved, the date of the order or judgment being appealed, and the amount of the claim. Both types of appeals must be filed in the appellate court within 30 days of the order or judgment being entered in the lower court, and must include a filing fee. Once filed, the appellate court will review the evidence and make a determination on the appeal.
