@Saffron_Kid thanks for this comment. Case stated appeals relate to a question of law. In other words, the appellant argues that a judge did not apply the law correctly and they ask the higher court to look into this. Non case stated appeals could be concerned with a court's decision or sentence. So, this type of appeal may be concerned with how long a person was sentenced to prison and the defendant may argue that they think it is too long a sentence; and they ask the higher court to reduce it. Or the appeal may be based on the final decision reached by the court. For example, a person may say that when the court decided that they were 'guilty', the decision was wrong and that this wrong decision was reached because of something such as wrong understanding of facts of the case; but not wrong application of the law because remember that whenever the appeal is about wrong application of the law, we are dealing with case stated appeals.
Well explained ma'am 👍🏻
Thanks for the feedback. I wish you the very best in your studies.
Well explained.
I'm glad it helped you. All the best.
Great Explanation Ma'am.
Could you please help me to understand what's the difference between a "normal Appeal" and "Appeal by way case stated".
