==Reasons for appealing a decision==
When a judge makes a decision following a hearing, the judge does three things. First, the judge makes a decision about the evidence and what the facts of the case are; this is called making a ''finding of fact''. Second, the judge decides that what the law applicable to the case is. Third, the judge applies the law to the facts. These last two steps are called ''findings of law''.
You cannot appeal a decision simply because you don't like it. You must have a proper legal reason for bringing the appeal.
