Apelação

"Apelação" is a legal process in Brazil where a party who is dissatisfied with a court’s decision can ask a higher court to review and possibly change that decision. It acts as a formal request for reconsideration, allowing the appellate court to examine whether the original ruling was correct based on legal standards and evidence. This process ensures that disputes can be reassessed, providing a safeguard for fair judgment and justice. It is similar to an appeal in other legal systems and is an essential part of the judiciary's checks and balances.
