HOW DO YOU ASK A HIGHER COURT TO ‘REDO’ YOUR CASE?.

If you are a football fan, you have probably heard of ‘VAR’ and how recently Arsenal vs Man Utd turned out and people are still talking about it. Some fans like it when its on their side while others hate it. (but we shall leave it there so MAN UTD fans don’t stop reading).
 
Anyway, how it works is this: a goal or a foul can be missed by the referee and another referee ‘up there’ will let him/her know that there was a mistake and this will get fixed. Either a goal will be confirmed, denied or a red card will be given for what had been missed as a dangerous foul or handball.
 
Cases in court are also like that. When you lose a case or you do not like the result, you ask the legal ‘VAR’ to check that decision to see if a mistake was not made. This is what we call an appeal. A higher court will look at the case again and decide if the decision was correct or legally reached.
 
Unlike that VAR in football, you have you have to ask the courts to look at your case and review it. So, here is how you do that;
 
1. First you have to inform court that you are appealing and give reasons why you are appealing. You do this using 2 documents. (Notice of Motion (a written request to court) and Memorandum of Appeal (this contains the reasons or grounds of your appeal).
 
2. You then have to inform the other person involved in the case about the appeal by giving them a copy of the document so that they are aware, and they can respond to your argument.
 
Once this is done, you have to appear on the date the court has set for your hearing to begin so it tells you what to do next.
