Right to Appeal

The right to appeal is a legal process that allows someone who is unhappy with a court's decision to request that a higher court review and possibly change or overturn that decision. It provides an opportunity to ensure fairness, correct errors, and uphold justice. The appellant (the person appealing) must typically show that there were legal mistakes or issues in the original case. The appellate court examines the case details and legal arguments, not re-trying the case, but ensuring the law was correctly applied. This process helps maintain confidence and accuracy in the judicial system.
