Appeal in Small Claims with Counterclaim
Hi,
I was taken to Small claims court by the plaintiff, and I also filed a counterclaim.
The judge awarded me my full claim amount and awarded the plaintiff only HALF his claim amount.
Now the plaintiff has filed an appeal.
Does this mean that BOTH the original claims will be reheard? or will only my original claim be reheard?
Does that mean that I might be ordered to pay the plaintiff the full amount of his claim, and that I might not get the full amount of my claim this time?
Thanks.

Re: Appeal in Small Claims with Counterclaim
An unsuccessful small-claims plaintiff cannot appeal from the judgment on his claim. He can only appeal from the judgment on the cross-claim.
