appeal hearing
Second-chance tribunal session
An appeal hearing is a legal proceeding where a higher court or tribunal reviews a decision made by a lower authority.
The hearing examines whether errors in law or procedure affected the original ruling, rather than retrying the case from scratch: The defendant requested an appeal hearing after the conviction.
In administrative contexts, appeal hearings review decisions by government agencies, employers, or other institutions.
