Appealing against decisions

Need Help Appealing Court Decisions?

It often happens that a first-instance court decision does not meet your expectations. The specialists at the law firm “ES&Partners” have many years of experience in successfully appealing court rulings, as this is a complex process that requires professional preparation.

Who Has the Right to Appeal a Decision?

According to Article 14 of the Law of Ukraine “On the Judiciary and the Status of Judges,” participants in the case under judicial consideration, as well as other individuals, have the right to appeal the case and, in legally established cases, to file a cassation appeal.

This right is extremely important because it helps restore justice after a mistaken (in the defendant’s opinion) decision by the court of first instance, eliminate previous errors, and — crucially — submit new evidence that may affect the final outcome. Therefore, the attorneys at “ES&Partners” strongly recommend exercising this right. It is an effective tool for protecting the parties’ interests and ensuring fair justice.

Which Decisions Can Be Appealed?

• Rulings in civil cases, including inheritance issues, contracts, family disputes, and other legal matters;
• Decisions in administrative cases concerning the protection of citizens’ rights, as well as disputes involving violations in the administrative law field.

What Is the Deadline for Filing an Appeal?

An appeal against a court decision must be filed within thirty days, and against a court ruling — within fifteen days from the date it is announced. During this time, the defendant’s attorneys can thoroughly review the case materials, build a defense strategy, and prepare the documents for the appeal. Preparing an appeal independently may take significantly more time and contain weak arguments.
