ORS 53.010
Appeal from justice courts


Any party to a judgment in a civil action in a justice court, other than a judgment by confession or for want of an answer, may appeal therefrom when the sum in controversy is not less than $30, or when the action is for the recovery of personal property of the value of not less than $30, exclusive of disbursements in either case, also when the action is for the recovery of the possession of real property under ORS 105.110 (Action for forcible entry or wrongful detainer). [Amended by 1977 c.365 §4; 1977 c.416 §4]

Notes of Decisions

Where justice court entered order rather than judgment, and Court of Appeals cannot independently determine whether order could have been “judgment” under this section, plaintiff may not appeal justice court order. Richardson v. DMV, 253 Or App 456, 292 P3d 557 (2012)
