Appellants

In the context of legal proceedings, "appellants" refer to individuals or parties who challenge the decision of a lower court by appealing to a higher court. This means they believe that the previous court made a mistake in its ruling and are seeking a review or reversal of that decision. The appellant presents their case to the higher court, explaining why the original judgment should be changed. The opposing party in this process is called the "appellee," who defends the original ruling. The appeal process allows for legal errors to be corrected and ensures justice.
