You arrived at this page by selecting:Most court decisions can be appealed against, but not generally as of right. You have to get permission to appeal. That permission can be from the judge who you want to appeal against, or if he refuses from the court that would hear the appeal if permission is granted.
Appeals are not easy to win. An appeal is rarely a second go, a sort of rerun of the hearing that led to the decision you want to appeal against. An appeal will generally only succeed if you can convince the appeal court not that the decision was wrong, but that the judge went about his job wrong, which is not at all the same thing.
As a general rule, if you have lost you have lost. You have the right to try to appeal, but be wary of using it.
