| 单词 | appeal |
| 释义 | appeal appeal the process of taking a case to a court with power to alter the decision of the court that has made the decision complained of. A court with power to hear appeals is called an appellate court, and a person appealing is usually called an appellant and his opponent the respondent. (In Scotland, a person appealing to the Inner House of the COURT OF SESSION is called a reclaimer, the process a reclaiming motion.) Some courts hear appeals completely anew, but usually an appeal is argued with a view to correcting a legal error in the court below. As witnesses are not usually heard, the facts are normally taken as found in the court below, but if a transcript is available, the reason- ableness of a decision or inferences taken from primary facts estab- lished may often be challenged on appeal. Sometimes a court has power to order a new trial or to deal with a case again if new evi- dence that could not have been put before the lower court comes to hand. See also IMMIGRATION APPEAL. |
