Appeal the decision of the court of first instance

Appeal the decision of the court of first instance

The decision of the court of first instance cannot always satisfy all parties to the process. If you do not agree with the verdict, you have the legal right to appeal it. The appeals process has a well-defined procedure that is critical to a successful outcome.

Terms of appeal of the decision of the court of first instance

First of all, it is important to know that the appeal period is clearly defined and limited. As a general rule, an appeal can be filed within 30 days from the day of its announcement.

There are a number of exceptions to this rule:

  • 10 days: to cancel decisions on securing a claim, on refusing to secure a claim, on stopping the proceedings in the case, on closing the proceedings in the case.
  • 15 days: to appeal decisions on returning a claim, on leaving a claim without consideration.

Important: the cancellation period begins to expire from the day the court decision is announced. If you were not present at the meeting, the appeal period begins on the day a copy of this decision is delivered to you.

  4. Conflict of interest. If the judge or other participants in the court process had a conflict of interest or took actions that could affect the objectivity of the decision, this may also be grounds for cancellation.
