# What Is the Appeal?

What Is the Appeal?

## Answers

### Answer by Vishal Kesarwani

**In terms of the law, an appeal is basically a process under which cases are been reviewed** and a party request to do changes in a decision which are been officially made. It functions in two ways as in the process of error correction and process of clarifying and differentiate law.

**In the end of any cases in a lower court, the party who loses the case has full right to review that particular case in higher court** in a hope that decision may get changed. In such particular case, an appeal is made to the higher courts. \

**An appeal is not a rehearing of your cases neither it’s a new trial of your case.** One can’t represent new evidence or any new witness in front of a new judge. These things are only possible in exceptional circumstances. **"Hope it was informative"**
