Civil appeal

A remedy seeking review of certain decisions by a higher court under the applicable procedural rules.

What to bear in mind

Not every decision is appealable and the trial is not repeated without limits. The decision, notification date, grounds and requirements must be checked.

Preparing for your consultation

Bring the full decision, notification, filed submissions and relevant documents. Deadlines and requirements depend on the particular procedural step.
