Ala. R. App. P. 22
Note from the reporter of decisions: The order amending Rule 22, Rule 28(a) (5), Rule 32(a) (7), and Rule 40(f), effective August 1, 2015, and adopting the Committee Comments to those amendments to Rule 28(a) {5), Rule 32(a) (7), and Rule 40(f) is published in that volume of Alabama Reporter that contains Alabama cases from __ So. 3d.
Committee Comments
This rule basically continues Alabama practice under Code of Ala., § 12-22-90. It does resolve a question as to where habeas corpus appeals in child custody go by providing that such appeals are governed by the various provisions of these rules governing appeals in civil cases. As such, appeal would lie to the court of civil appeals.
