Often a situation arises when one or even both parties to the trial are dissatisfied with the decision of the court of first instance. To do this, there is an opportunity to appeal against the sentence passed within the prescribed time limit.
Instructions
Step 1
Find out which court you will need to go to to appeal the decision. This depends on the court in which the impugned verdict was delivered. For example, decisions made by justices of the peace may be annulled by the district court, and the district judge himself will be forced to change his mind, he will have to listen to the regional appellate court.
Step 2
Write the text of the special appeal. A lawyer who represented your interests in court will help you with this. The text itself must indicate the name of the court that rendered the contested decision, as well as the text of the decision itself. In addition, supporting documents will need to be added to the complaint: both those that appeared in the case, and possible new ones - records of testimony, various protocols and others.
Step 3
Send your complaint to the court. Which one - it depends on whether the deadline for the appeal announced to you in court has expired. If not, then you transfer the document to the court of first instance, and he already forwards the papers on. If yes, then you send the package of documents directly to a higher court. In the latter case, one can hope for a reconsideration of the case if any new documents are added to the complaint.
Step 4
Wait for a decision on your complaint. The court will inform you about this. The result may be different - the cancellation of the decision of the previous court, its revision, or its retention. Further, if you disagree with the decision of the second court, you can file a complaint with an even higher court. But this appeal will also be time-limited.
