Notice of Appeal

A Notice of Appeal is a formal document filed by a party who disagrees with a court's decision and wants a higher court to review the case. This notice outlines the intention to appeal and generally includes the reasons for the appeal. It is typically submitted within a specific timeframe after the original decision. Essentially, it acts as a request for the appellate court to examine the case in hopes of overturning or modifying the lower court's ruling. This process is an important part of the legal system, ensuring that decisions can be questioned and reevaluated.
