Document Summary
Canada"s courts: chapter 5: appeal judges arrived at another body . One frequently used definition of an appeal is a request to a competent tribunal to reconsider a decision.

Supreme court; it was also a source of difficulty in recruiting good judges to the new supreme court and a cause of recurrent indignant outrage when the upstart court had the temerity to reverse a strong appeal panel. The pyramid of canadian courts with lower courts trial at the bottom and superior appeal courts above reviewing their decisions is usually accepted as implying a fully developed structural hierarchy, but such an inference is a mistake. An important characteristic of the anglo american court systems that this hierarchy is imperfectly developed compared to the judicial processes of continental europe.
