How do I request a change of venue in an appeal?

In Delaware, a change of venue can be requested in an appeal if the appellant thinks that the previous court location was unfair or inadequate. The appellant can request a change of venue by filing a motion for change of venue with the appellate court. This motion should include the reasons for wanting the venue changed, as well as information about the new desired venue. It is also important to provide any evidence of how the current venue caused an unfair trial or an inadequate hearing. Once the motion is filed, the appellate court may either deny the motion or grant it. If the motion is granted, the court would then issue a new order, which would require a new trial or rehearing in the new venue. In Delaware, the appellant can also file a motion for an appeal bond, which is an order that the court requires the appellant to pay a certain amount of money to the court in order to appeal their case. The bond money ensures that the appellant pays all necessary fees and costs for the appeal. In certain cases, the court may also require a change of venue as part of the appeal bond. The appellate court may also decide to grant a change of venue through an alternate method, such as a writ of mandamus. However, the appellant must be able to provide a strong argument and sufficient evidence in order for the court to grant the motion. A lawyer can provide further advice and assistance in filing a motion for a change of venue in an appeal.
