Frivolous Appeals

Be careful of your actions if you decide to appeal a court case.  A Missouri appeals court has recently ruled that a frivolous appeal by someone can warrant a court sanction against the appealing party.  In the Ampleman v. Dish Network appellate case, Mr. DIshman had to pay DIsh Network $1,500 to reimburse Dish Network for their attorney fees when Mr. Dishman’s appeal had no merit and should not have occurred.  If you are facing a trial or thinking of appealing a case, feel free to contact our law office at 816-524-4949 or visit our website at www.Hoorfarlaw.com.
