Cal. Civ. Code § 70-27-212
General Provisions On New Trials And Appeals Applicable
Operative Text
The provisions of Title 25 relative to new trials and appeals, except insofar as they are inconsistent with the provisions of this chapter, apply to the proceedings mentioned in this chapter.
Mont. Code Ann. § 70-27-212 establishes that the general procedural rules governing new trials and appeals found in Title 25 of Montana law carry over into unlawful detainer and eviction proceedings, unless those general rules conflict with the specific rules set out in the eviction chapter. In other words, the standard Montana litigation procedures for challenging a verdict or appealing a court decision are available in these cases, with the eviction chapter's own rules taking precedence wherever the two sets of rules diverge. This provision ensures that parties in eviction proceedings are not left without familiar procedural remedies simply because the case arises under a specialized chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers handling eviction proceedings under Montana law should be aware that Mont. Code Ann. § 70-27-212 preserves access to the standard new-trial and appellate procedures found in Title 25. A compliant operator generally keeps track of deadlines and procedural requirements from both Title 25 and the eviction chapter, understanding that the eviction chapter's specific rules govern whenever there is a conflict. Familiarity with both sets of procedural rules helps ensure that any post-judgment steps are taken within the correct framework.

Mont. Code Ann. § 70-27-212 means that tenants involved in eviction proceedings retain access to the general Montana procedures for requesting a new trial or filing an appeal under Title 25, subject to any specific rules in the eviction chapter that may differ. If a tenant believes a court ruling was in error, this provision confirms that standard appellate and new-trial remedies are generally available as potential paths forward. Tenants seeking to understand how these procedures apply to their situation may benefit from consulting a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider familiar with Montana eviction law.
