• (a) In the two following cases, an executor, administrator, or creditor may appeal to
  the Superior Court from the decision and report of the commissioners, if notice of
  appeal is filed with the clerk of the Superior Court appealed to within 30 days after
  the return of the commissioners’ report: (1) when the commissioners disallow a claim in whole or in part to the amount of $20.00

  objected to amounts to $20.00 or more. (b) In case an appeal is taken as provided in subsection (a) of this section, if a claim
  in favor of the estate against such claimant or a claim in favor of the claimant against
  such estate, has not been presented to the commissioner by reason of fraud, accident,
  or mistake, on trial of such appeal, and upon filing proper statement of such claim
  in Superior Court, recovery may be had for such claim not presented to the commissioners
  by reason of such fraud, accident, or mistake. (Amended 1959, No. 261, § 60; 1973, No. 193 (Adj. Sess.), § 3, eff. April 9, 1974; 2009, No. 154 (Adj. Sess.), § 76.)
