The judge would either rule in the plaintiffs favor or not. If the judge rules against your case you can file an appeal. If the judge rules in your favor you won and can take the next steps in collecting your judgment. Once a decision is made its final. I don't see much luck with appeals, unless you have favoring evidence that the ruling was, for lack of better word, unfair.
