AppealIn Arabic: الاستئناف
Definition
An ordinary means of challenge by which a dispute is brought before a higher court to be reconsidered on both the facts and the law. Time limits, and which judgments can be appealed, vary with each state's procedure law.
How it varies across the GCC
Court tiers differ.
The rules that apply to a specific matter depend on the state, any free zone involved and the current text of the law, so check the official source before relying on them.
