An appeal from the final judgment of the circuit court in a bond validation proceeding may be taken to the Supreme Court of Virginia. No appeal shall be allowed unless a notice of appeal is filed in the circuit court within 15 days after the date on which the final judgment of the court is entered and unless the appealing party's petition for appeal is filed with the Supreme Court of Virginia within 30 days after the date on which the final judgment of the court is entered. When a notice of appeal is timely and properly filed with the clerk of the circuit court, the clerk shall certify and transmit the record to the Clerk of the Supreme Court of Virginia within 30 days after the date on which the final judgment of the circuit court is entered. Failure of the clerk to comply with this requirement shall not affect the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of Virginia to consider the appeal. If the Supreme Court of Virginia grants the petition for appeal, it shall be placed on the privileged docket.
