appeal rights

Challenge the decision

Appeal rights are the legal entitlements allowing a person to challenge a decision before a higher authority.

In courts, appeal rights let losing parties seek review by a higher court.

Administrative agencies grant appeal rights against rulings on benefits, licenses, or penalties: You have thirty days to exercise your appeal rights.

The scope varies—some decisions allow appeal as of right, others only by permission.
