Överklagande

An appeal (överklagande) is your right to have a decision by a public agency reviewed by a higher instance, often a court. It means that someone dissatisfied with a decision can request that it be examined again instead of the decision becoming final straight away. The right to appeal is an important part of legal certainty, since it gives a way to have incorrect decisions corrected.
