The Appellate Division in Manhattan was considering Trump's appeal from a January lower court ruling allowing James to sue.
James accused Trump of lying to lenders and insurers from 2011 to 2021 about asset values at the Trump Organization, as well as his own net worth.
The appeals court appeared more receptive to arguments by Ivanka Trump's lawyer Bennet Moskowitz that James may have sued her too late.
The appeals court did not say when it will rule.
The case is New York v Trump et al, New York State Supreme Court, Appellate Division, 1st Department, No.
