apelante

"Apelante" is a Spanish term used in legal contexts that refers to the person who is appealing a court decision. Essentially, if someone is unhappy with a judgment and chooses to challenge it by asking a higher court to review and possibly overturn it, they are the "apelante." This term is similar to "applicant" or "appellant" in English legal systems. The apelante submits an appeal, arguing that the original decision was incorrect or unfair, seeking a different outcome from a higher court.
