Theses de appellationibus ...

XVII.

The number of appeals is determined by the causes for which one appeals: for instance, it may be appealed as many times as there are chapters in the dispute: from the persons appealing, and from the instances legal phases of a trial.

XIIX.

One must appeal from a rendered sentence within ten days: however, the appeal may be presented on any day, even a public holiday.

XIX.

The ten-day time limit does not run against a defeated party who is ignorant that a sentence has been rendered, if the judge who rendered it hides the fact, or forbids the appeal, in which case a public protest is sufficient for the one intending to appeal.

XX.

The apostoli letters of dismissal provided by the lower judge to the superior court and a copy of the acts must be requested and granted within thirty days.

XXI.

The time for presenting an appeal varies: sometimes six or three months are granted, and sometimes only two.

XXII.

Once the first period has elapsed, a grace period of thirty days is granted to an appellant who has not yet initiated the appeal: likewise, grace periods are granted after the second and third lapse, which are permitted by operation of law. After the fourth lapse, no grace period is given, but the defeated party may request it from the prince within three months, calculated from the final day of the fourth lapse.

XXIII.

And this is indeed the case if one has appealed from an ordinary judge or from one delegated by the prince.
