INTRODUCTION
After a court case has been decided in favor of one party in the Federal Court, the losing party may decide that they would like to appeal the court's decision within one month. If an appeal is accepted, the case will be heard by the Supreme Court, where the verdict may or may not be overturned. In the event that the verdict is overturned, appropriate actions will be taken to ensure that the compensatory actions of the original verdict are overturned or that new compensatory actions are issued. The Supreme Court is the final court of appeal, and decisions made by it cannot be overturned.
Please double-check that the case was decided within one month of the appeal being filed. Any more than one month will result in a frivolous court case.
CREATING AN APPEAL
To create an appeal, create a thread just like you would if you were creating a lawsuit. It must be filed a lawyer and there must be good reason for filing it, or else it will be dismissed as a frivolous case.
The title of the thread must follow this format. Make sure that the prefix is set to "Appeal: Pending": <FCR 01> - Appeal Request
The body of the appeal post must follow this format, or it will be denied and you will be charged with a frivolous court case.
APPEAL PROCESS
Once you have posted your appeal, the Judges will conduct an internal vote of whether or not to grant the appeal. It will either be accepted or denied, typically within 3 days of filing. Asking about your Appeal will only hinder its chances of being accepted.
IF ACCEPTED
The Supreme Court will preside over your appeal. The process will be somewhat different than a normal case. First you will post your appellant brief—a free-form filing that lays out your argument in full, including any evidence you want to use to prove your point. You will use this filing to discuss why the previous case was decided in error, list legal authority that is on your side, and articulate why you should win.
Next the appellee will post a similar brief. Finally, you will have an opportunity to post a response brief that may discuss flaws with the appellee’s brief. Each of these postings will have a seventy-two hour window.
During this process you may not submit new evidence or call any witnesses. Only the evidence, filing, and statements on the record of the case being appealed may be brought in to the appeal itself. After this, the Supreme Court will render a final verdict which may not be appealed.
