SOME CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING APPEAL EFFECTS IN JORDANIAN LEGISLATION

Summary/Abstract: In the civil tradition, the right of appeal has a primary importance, as a fundamental safeguard of justice. The function of the Court of Appeal is to provide an appellate hearing of right, from any judicial decision of courts of first instance. On this occasion the entire record is brought before the superior Court for consideration and review, both the facts and the law. In Jordan, Courts of Appeal hear all cases of appeal from judgements of the Court of First Instance and all cases of appeal from the Magistrate’s Court, which are not heard by Courts of First Instance. A three judge panel considers all matters raised in the Court of Appeal.
