The options of an appellate court typically include affirming the lower court's decision, reversing that decision, remanding the case back to the lower court for further proceedings, or modifying the ruling. The appellate court reviews the case based on the record from the lower court without hearing new evidence. Its primary focus is on identifying legal errors that may have affected the outcome of the trial. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure justice and proper application of the law.
Generally an appellate court has the same powers as the original court. The only difference is that the appellate court can only decide on the record of the trial court and not allow any additional evidence. Even this is not final and in some cases it too can seek additional evidence.
