In re Antero
(Co., filed June 28, 2023): Arguing that preserving litigants’ access to the right to appeal adverse judgments is an important matter worthy of legislative attention. Unlimited appeal bond requirements threaten defendants’ right to appeal. The Colorado General Assembly’s policy determination rationally balanced judgment creditors’ interests in ensuring recovery with preserving judgment debtors’ right to obtain appellate review in a manner that is consistent with many other states.
On December 4, 2023, the Court agreed with ATRA’s position and upheld the state’s statutory limit on appeal bonds
