The plaintiff and municipality have how many days to appeal judgment?

• A. 45
• B. 30
• C. 60
• D. 15

Answer: (A)

Appeal deadlines are fixed by statute and start when the judgment is entered. In this context, the rule that applies gives both the plaintiff and the municipality a 45-day window to file a notice of appeal after the judgment is entered. That 45-day period is chosen by the governing law to balance allowing enough time for notice, preparation, and filing for both sides, including a government entity. The clock is generally counted from the entry of judgment, though it can be tolled if a post-judgment motion (like a motion for a new trial or to amend the judgment) is filed and then resolved. Always check the specific jurisdiction’s rules, but the 45-day period reflects the applicable timeline for appeals by both sides in this scenario.
