Section VII-A-5: Appeal to Appellate Division.

  (a)  From any judgment of the Trial Division, the respondent or
the prosecutor may appeal to the Appellate Division, by filing a
notice of appeal with the Clerk of the Supreme Court, within ten
days after entry of the judgment.  The notice shall be served
upon the opposite party in the manner prescribed by the rules of
the Appellate Division.
  (b)  The preparation and certification of the record upon
appeal and all proceedings upon the appeal, not prescribed by
this action, shall be governed by the rules of the Appellate
Division.
  (c)  The review in the Appellate Division shall be an equity
appeal, as to both law and fact.  The Appellate Division may
affirm, modify or reverse the judgment of the Trial Division, or
enter a new judgment, as justice may require.
  (d)  If justice requires, the Appellate Division may hear
additional evidence upon the appeal, upon a showing to the
satisfaction of the Division that the additional evidence is
material and that there were good reasons for failure to present
it to the Trial Division.
