→Is an appeal appropriate?
The person bringing an appeal is called the ''appellant''. The other party is called the ''respondent'' because that party is ''responding'' to the appeal. The trial court, the Supreme Court, is called the ''lower court'' or ''the court below'', and the judge who heard the trial is called the ''trial judge''.
Appeals to the Court of Appeal are governed by two things: the ''[[https://canlii.ca/t/b96x Court of Appeal Act]]'' and the [https://canlii.ca/t/bgkw 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!
