Difference between revisions of "How Do I Appeal a Final Supreme Court Decision?"

You should think twice before you decide that you want to appeal a decision, as appeals can be surprisingly expensive. They're usually not as expensive as trials are, but the cost is still substantial. As well, it isn't always necessary to appeal a decision. Orders, even final orders, which deal with children and spousal support can often be varied following the decision. Of course to vary an order, there must have been significant change in circumstances since the decision was made.

Appeals to the Court of Appeal are governed by two things, the ''Court of Appeal Act'' and the Court of Appeal Rules. You should be familiar with both the act and the Rules because both contain guidelines and deadlines for the conduct of an appeal; reading the Rules is not enough!
