Appeal

Definition: A request for an authorized reviewing body to examine a decision for legal error under the applicable procedure.

Example

A licensee seeks court review of a final administrative order imposing discipline.

Keep the distinction clear

An appeal is not simply a new complaint or an automatic retrial. Filing does not necessarily stop the order from taking effect.
