Appeals Court Decisions

Appeals court decisions review cases from lower courts to ensure the law was applied correctly. When a party believes there was a legal error or unfairness, they can ask an appeals court to reconsider the case. The appeals court examines the record, listens to legal arguments, and determines whether the original decision followed the law. If they find a mistake, they can reverse or modify the lower court’s decision or send the case back for further proceedings. These decisions do not usually involve re-trying the case but focus on legal correctness and consistency in applying the law.
