An appellate court hears and decides the issues on appeal.
Immanuel Connelly
An appellate court reviews the decisions made by lower courts to determine if any errors were made. They do not re-try the case or consider new evidence. Instead, they examine the legal arguments presented by both parties and assess whether the lower court's decision was correct based on the application of law. The appellate court can either uphold the lower court's decision or reverse it.
