The Appeal Court in Guyana serves as the highest judicial authority for reviewing decisions made by lower courts. Its primary function is to hear appeals on both civil and criminal cases, ensuring that legal errors are corrected and justice is upheld. The court evaluates the application of law and procedural fairness, and its rulings can set important legal precedents for future cases. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in safeguarding the rule of law and the rights of individuals within the judicial system.
