APPEALS (§ 15.2-2656)

An appeal from the final judgment of the circuit court in a bond validation
proceeding may be taken to the Court of Appeals. No appeal shall be allowed
unless a notice of appeal is filed in the circuit court within 15 days after the
date on which the final judgment of the court is entered and unless the
appealing party&#8217;s opening brief is filed with the Court of Appeals within
30 days after the date on which the final judgment of the court is entered. When
a notice of appeal is timely and properly filed with the clerk of the circuit
court, the clerk shall certify and transmit the record to the Clerk of the Court
of Appeals within 30 days after the date on which the final judgment of the
circuit court is entered and the Court of Appeals shall give the appeal an
expedited review. Failure of the clerk to comply with this requirement shall not
affect the jurisdiction of the Court of Appeals to consider the appeal.
