Which court is the Appeal Court?
The appeal court is the court to which an appeal is made. The route of appeal depends on:

the court from whose decision the appeal is brought (‘the lower court’)
who made that decision (e.g. a district judge or a circuit judge) and the type of
decision.
This leaf‌let seeks to provide general guidance on the routes of appeal. It does not and
