How does the court decide appeals?
The court decides whether the Title Board erred by considering the written briefs and supporting documentation filed by the parties to the appeal. Oral argument is not held on these appeals. Each Justice on the court carefully considers the written briefs, and then the court as a whole reaches a decision as to how to rule, and why. The court will either affirm the decision of the Title Board, in which case it generally does not issue a written opinion, or it will reverse the Title Board decision, in which case the court must remand the case to the Title Board with instructions, pointing out where the Board was in error.
