A. Either party may appeal the judgment of the small claims department to the circuit court of Salt Lake County by filing a notice of appeal within ten (10) days of the notice of entry of the judgment.
B. The appeal to the circuit court is a trial de novo and shall be tried in accordance with the procedures of the small claims department, except a record of the trial shall be maintained. The trial de novo may not be heard by a small claims department judge pro tempore appointed under section 4-4-060 of this chapter.
