At the hearing, the person who started the appeal will go first and will explain why the trial judge made a <span class="noglossary">mistake</span> about the law. The other party goes next and explains why the trial judge appropriately considered the applicable legal principles and why the judge was right. Sometimes the court is able to make a decision after hearing from each party. | Appeals at the Supreme Court are heard by one judge; appeals at the Court of Appeal are heard by a panel of three or five judges.
