Vermont Appellate Motion is a legal procedure that allows a party to a legal case to make a formal request to a higher court for a review of a decision made by a lower court. It is a form of relief available to parties appealing decisions from the Vermont Supreme Court, Vermont Superior Court, or Vermont Family Court. The two types of Vermont Appellate Motion are Motion to Dismiss and Motion for Rehearing. A Motion to Dismiss is a formal request made to the higher court to dismiss the case or appeal due to a procedural error or lack of evidence. A Motion for Rehearing is a formal request made to the higher court to review and reconsider a decision made by the lower court. Parties must provide written arguments to the higher court in support of their motion. If the motion is granted, the higher court will review the case and either uphold the decision of the lower court or issue a new ruling.
