Criminal Law Revision: Why Sittig Law is Your Firm for Revisions

Things to know

  • The appeal must be filed with the court whose judgment is to be challenged within one week of the pronouncement of the judgment.

 

  • The appeal can be filed with the registry, in writing, or by a defense attorney.

 

  • Within one month, the appeal must also be substantiated at the court whose judgment is being appealed.

 

  • The grounds for appeal may also be submitted by a defense attorney or filed with the court clerk's office.

 

  • If the formal requirements for an appeal are not met, for example, by missing deadlines, the appellate court will dismiss the appeal as inadmissible.

 

  • The substantive appeal alleges the violation of substantive law, while the procedural appeal alleges the violation of procedural errors or procedural law.

 

  • In procedural appeals, the appellate court must be able to determine whether a legal violation has occurred solely based on the appeal brief. This means they are subject to very high formal requirements, which is why it is strongly advisable to consult a lawyer with extensive experience in appeals.
