RULE 1.62 WHEN APPEAL COMMENCED

Here's a plain English summary:

An appeal officially starts once you have completed everything required under Rule 1.23. Until those steps are done, the appeal is not considered to have begun in the eyes of the court.

This matters because deadlines and other legal timelines often depend on when an appeal is officially "commenced." If you skip a step or file something incorrectly under Rule 1.23, your appeal may not count as started yet, even if you believe you have taken action. It is worth checking Rule 1.23 closely to make sure you have met every requirement before assuming your appeal is moving forward.
