Appeal against the Court’s decision

This means that in the event of an unfavorable decision, we can appeal against it. In the case of a judgment, it is an appeal, in the case of decisions, a complaint. How to appeal against an unfavorable decision? In the first place, in the case of a judgment, it is necessary to submit an application for justification within 7 days from the date of delivery of the judgment. The court then prepares a justification in which it justifies its decision. After receiving it within 14 days, we can appeal to the court of second instance. There are two exceptions. In the case of misdemeanor cases, the deadline for submitting an appeal is not 14, but 7 days from the receipt of the judgment with reasons. In the case of the so-called accelerated procedure, the deadlines are even shorter. We have only three days to submit an application for justification, and seven days to lodge an appeal. What about resolutions? It depends on whether or not we were present when they were announced. If so, within seven days from the date of receipt of the decision together with the reasons, we can lodge a complaint.
