In an appeal from a Small Claims Court judgment, it is not the function of the Superior
Court to substitute its own judgment for that of the Small Claims Court Judge. See Whipple v.
Lambert, 145 Vt. 339, 340–41 (1985). Rather, the role of the Superior Court is to determine
whether the evidence presented at the hearing supports the facts that the Judge decided were the
credible facts, and whether the Judge correctly applied the proper law and procedure.
