  • 1.  Appeal Dilemma

    Posted 02-12-2020 04:01 PM
    Thanks for all the assistance, Folks.  I followed Dale Console's advice and spoke with staff att'y at App Div.  She was right - it isn't over til the fat lady sings.  If anyone is interested, an attorney fee issue "floating" out there must be decided before a Notice of Appeal can be filed.  I was directed to read the comment to R. 2:2-3 on page 626 of the Court Rules.  Even if reconsideration decision (issued on Jan 21) is the only thing being appealed, I have to wait until a decision on counsel fees is made - even if that decision comes out in April.  There is a "Filing Time Exemption" [when the Notice of Appeal is filed electronically] that will apply to extend the 45-day appeal deadline when a situation like this arises.  Again my thanks to Dale, Grace, Allan and Thomas.
