Appeal process
The appeal process is a legal procedure where a person challenges a decision made by a lower court or authority. If someone believes the decision was unfair or incorrect, they can request a higher court to review the case. The higher court examines the facts, legal arguments, and adherence to laws without holding a new trial. They can uphold the original decision, modify it, or overturn it. The process ensures that justice is served and that mistakes can be corrected, providing a check on the legal system.
