N.C. Bus. Ct. R. 14

14.1. How an appeal is taken. An appeal from an order or judgment of the

Court is taken by filing a written notice of appeal with the Clerk of Superior Court in

the county of venue. The notice of appeal must be filed within the time, in the

manner, and with the effect provided by the controlling statutes and the

North Carolina Rules of Appellate Procedure. The parties should promptly file a copy

of the notice of appeal with the Court.

14.2. Orders and opinions issued by the Appellate Division. If an

appellate court issues an order or opinion in a case that is simultaneously proceeding

(in whole or in part) in the Court, then the parties are encouraged to submit a copy

of the order or opinion to the Court by e-mailing it to the law clerk for the presiding

Business Court judge.

The parties are also encouraged to notify the law clerk for the presiding

Business Court judge if the appellate process for an action has reached its conclusion.

This notification allows the Court to close cases that are no longer being litigated.

14.3. Procedures on remand. If an appellate court orders that a case on

appeal be remanded to the Court for further proceedings, then—unless the Court

instructs otherwise—the parties must confer within fifteen days of the issuance of

the mandate pursuant to Rule 32 of the North Carolina Rules of Appellate Procedure

about the case-management issues that apply to the proceedings upon remand.

The parties must submit a report to the Court within ten days of the meeting that

proposes a case-management structure for the proceedings.
