Which information must a Notice of Appeal contain?

• A. Name of the party taking the appeal
• B. Judgment or order appealed from
• C. Court to which the appeal is taken
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

The key idea is that a Notice of Appeal must clearly identify who is appealing, what is being appealed, and to which court the appeal is taken. In New York practice, this means the notice must state the name of the party taking the appeal, the judgment or order being appealed from, and the court to which the appeal is directed. These elements are essential so the appellate court knows who is seeking review, exactly what is under review, and the proper forum for the appeal. Missing any one of these details can render the notice defective or create jurisdiction problems, so all three pieces of information are required.
