ORAP 2.25

(1) With respect to appeals from courts:

(a) The case title shall include all parties or entities ever named in the case,

including parties or entities dismissed from the case, notwithstanding that the title of the

judgment being appealed may not refer to all parties in the case.

(b) All parties should be named completely and should be identified by their

designations in the trial court (e.g., plaintiff, defendant, cross-plaintiff, intervenor) and on

appeal, as appropriate (e.g., appellant, respondent, cross-appellant, cross-respondent). A

party to the case who is not a party on appeal should be designated only by that party's

designation in the trial court.

(c) Parties to a cross-claim, third-party claim or counterclaim should be set

forth in a separate case title under the original case title.

(d) Where the trial court has used an "In Re" or other similar case title that

does not identify the adverse parties to the proceeding, such as in probate and juvenile

court cases, the contesting parties should be set forth in a separate case title under the

original case title.

(e) The title shall include the trial court case number or numbers.[fn 1]

(2) The Administrator may correct the title of the case on appeal or judicial review to

include all persons who were parties to the proceeding below and to designate properly the

parties according to their status on appeal or judicial review. If the Administrator corrects the

title, the Administrator shall give notice and opportunity to respond to all parties to the appeal or

judicial review.

(3) (a) A person who was a party to the case in the tribunal from which the appeal

was taken but who was not designated in the notice of appeal as a party to the appeal may

appear as of right as a party to the appeal by filing a notice of intent to participate as a

party.

(b) If the notice of appeal in a juvenile court, guardianship, conservatorship or

other similar proceeding does not identify the juvenile or protected person as a party to

the appeal, the juvenile or protected person may appear as of right as a party to the appeal

by filing a notice of intent to participate as a party.

(c) A notice of intent to participate on appeal under paragraph (a) or (b) of

this subsection shall be filed within 21 days after the date of filing of the notice of appeal,

or within such further time as may be allowed by the court, and shall be served on all

other parties to the appeal and on the court reporter or transcriber, if any, preparing the

transcript.

(d) A party who appears on appeal under paragraph (a) or (b) of this

subsection may recover costs and attorney fees, if any, and is liable for costs and attorney

fees, if any, the same as any party to an appeal.

(4) (a) In an adoption, juvenile court, or civil commitment case, when the notice

of appeal is filed, the court will modify the case title on appeal for the purpose of

avoiding public disclosure of the identity of natural persons who are parties to the case.[fn 2]

For the same purpose, in all other cases, on motion of a party or on its own motion, and

for good cause shown, the court may modify the case title or the version of the court's

opinion published on the Judicial Department's website.[fn 3]

(b) In all cases, notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this subsection, the appellate

judgment will contain the full case title.
