Look to your states laws, court precedents, and rules. Most post motions such as, "a motion for new trial", will preserve your right to appeal. Any appeals based on a De Novo review from a small claim court will allow you to appeal, regardless.
Take it to small claims court.

yes you can the law allows anyone to file a small claims lawsuit. But make sure you have his correct address my suggestion is you send what is called a "DEMAND LETTER" by regular us mail and by certified mail "restricted delivery". its about $10.00 at the post office give him 30 days to pay. Dont worry if he dosent sign it just make sure you have his correct home address. Donot accept partial payment. DO NOT ACCEPT A CHECK. CASH OR MONEY ORDER ONLY. IN FULL> if he does not pay in 30 days file a small claims lawsuit against him in the local court nearest to his address. call the small claims court and ask questions. its easy simple and hopefully you will get your money. If you win hire a collection agency to collect your money. GOOD LUCK! JUDE KAGABINES LEXINGTON SC
Maybe small claims court. Check with a local attorney. the best protection is DONT CO SIGN. Generally anyone who causes financial damages, which non payment of the debt as promised would seem to be, can be sued to have those damages recovered from. If one can pursue it in small claims court or needs a different one is really only dependent on the size of the claim, not the cause of action. In most areas the limit on awards in small claims is low, something like $1500 (varies). Anything more would require the higher, more procedurally formal court actions.
Yes, sometimes. Certain US District Court decisions can be appealed to the US Supreme Court on direct or expedited appeal, if the case involves a statute in which Congress specified initial appeals go directly to the Supreme Court, or if the nature of the case is such that it is important and will undoubtedly be appealed all the way to the Supreme Court, anyway.The normal route for US District Court cases is an appeal to the US Court of Appeals Circuit Court over the District Court's Circuit, then petitioned to the US Supreme Court if a party is dissatisfied with the Circuit Court's decision.
Talk to your lawyer. and have it surveyed. take it to small claims court and if ( they will ) they have to pay court costs, legal fees, and the survey fees. You should already have had it surveyed. Also, check records to see if they are accurate at the courthouse or land surveyers office. Piece of cake. most important, you have to prove it. dont go to court empty handed. make sure you have proof fence is on your land.
I really dont know..
means dont have to appear in court
The first time a case goes before the Bench, in Anglo-American law, that is, when the case goes before the court for consideration, as a general rule, the court takes jurisdiction to decide if it has jurisdiction. Jurisdiction, the power of the court to act concerning the matters before it is the more or less basis for any court's power to act in Anglo-American law.* Basically, there are two major types of jurisdiction: AT THE TRIAL LEVEL subject matter jurisdiction and personal jurisdiction. As a general rule, a person can submit to the authority of the court and effectively agree that the court's decision binds the person; however, the subject matter jurisdiction of the court is established by statutes that is laws made by legislaturs or constitutions. Subject matter jurisdiction is not something which parties can agree to for a court to act on. Courts have limitations on what they can decide about. Another way to say it is that if a court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the parties cant agree for the court to make decisions in that area. Example, a probate court, or a small claims court cant grant a divorce no matter how much the parties involved want the probate or small claims court to grant the divorce or how much the parties agree for the probate court or small claims court to grant a divorce or how willing the parties are for the court's ruling to be binding on them personally with the court's decision about the divorce. Courts cant take subject matter jurisdiction where they dont have it in the first place;they can always take jurisdiction of the case to decide if they have subject matter jurisdiction to act. They are taking jurisdiction to decide if they have jurisdiction. *Anglo-American law is the results of legal systems and ways of jurisprudential thinking which has developed as a results of an long cultural and legal association between the United Kingdom and the United States of America.
dont waste time and resources on a small thing like this
