Allows appeals to the Court of Special Appeals from a decision by an in banc circuit
court.
(Amending Article IV-Judiciary Department)
This constitutional amendment establishes the right of a party who did not request in banc
review by the circuit court to appeal an adverse decision by the in banc court to the
State's intermediate appellate court, the Court of Special Appeals. The amendment
provides that a party in a circuit court trial conducted by less than three circuit court
judges is eligible for in banc review. The amendment establishes that three judges of a
circuit court constitute a circuit court in banc. The amendment repeals the authority of the
circuit courts to regulate the rules governing in banc circuit court appeals, and establishes
that the Maryland Rules are to provide the procedure for such appeals. The amendment
also eliminates obsolete language pertaining to writs of error from this provision of the
Constitution.
It is hereby certified that at the election Chapter 421 received 1,090,860 votes cast for the
adoption and 311,202 votes cast against the adoption. Therefore, Chapter 421 has been
approved by the voters.
