Appeal routes and reasons for appeals in civil casesThere are different routes to go down on your route of appeal, although certain factors can affect many of
the appeals like the type of case you’re appealing against, the court in which it was decided that you wish
to make an appeal and also who made the overall decision. Tracks are something that is allocated with civil
cases in the high courts and the county court, and this determines which court you should appeal to about
your case. Appeals are usually made when a defendant feels he has been wrongfully judged in court and
feel like they have a chance of getting there previous judgement changed.
In a county court there are routes of appeal available, for fast track cases they are dealt with by a district
judge then the appeal is heard by a circuit judge and for cases dealt by a circuit judge the appeal should be
heard by a high court judge. For final decisions in multi-track cases which are heard by the county court
itself you would have to apply your appeal to The Court of Appeal. Appeals against small claims are
possible, the route of appeal is the same as fast track cases so this means that the appeal is to the next
judge up the court hierarchy so if the case was dealt with by a circuit judge the appeal would then have to
be passed on to a High Court Judge. When a first case is heard by a circuit judge or high court judge you
will then have the chance to appeal against what they have sentenced by taking it to the court of appeal
although this can only happen in certain cases, such as the appeal raises an important point or principle or
there is some compelling evidence to prove otherwise for your ruling.
