Ga. Ct. App. R. 21

As amended through July 11, 2024
Rule 21 - Original Evidence
(a)Do Not Send Original Evidence.

No original evidence or original exhibits shall be transmitted to the Court with the appellate record initially. A party may file a motion asking this Court to issue an order directing the trial court clerk to transmit original evidence or original exhibits for inclusion in the appellate record. The motion shall specify the particular evidence or exhibits that the party seeks to transmit, describe its general size and weight, and explain why the original evidence or exhibits are necessary for the determination of the appeal. The Court may grant the motion or issue an order on its own if it determines that the original evidence or exhibits would assist the Court in deciding the appeal.

(b) Action after Remittitur Issued.

After the remittitur has been issued by this Court to the trial court, all original evidence or exhibits shall be returned to the trial court clerk.
