What is an appeal proceeding?

Appeal proceedings are a stage of the criminal process. The criminal case is reviewed by the court at the request of the prosecutor or other participants in the process. At this stage, cases (decision, resolution, sentence) that have not yet entered into legal force can be reviewed.

Among the court decisions that can be passed by the courts of the first instance and can be appealed in the future:

1. Sentences
2. Resolutions on the application/refusal of the application of coercive measures of an educational or medical nature.
3. Other resolutions provided for by the current Criminal Procedure Code.
