Appeal from a Judgment Rendered in First Instance\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

If a judgment has been rendered against you and you are not satisfied with the judge\u2019s decision (whether in terms of the guilty verdict or the pronounced sentence), it is possible to appeal the conviction or sentence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, your notice of appeal must be filed with the court within <\/span>30 days<\/b>\u00a0of the decision.<\/span><\/p>\n

In certain special circumstances, this delay may, however, be extended with permission of a judge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ATTENTION:<\/strong> For penal files, if a judgment has been rendered by default against you, and it was done so without the possibility of asserting your defense, you may submit a motion for revocation of judgment if you can demonstrate that you have been diligent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this case, the delay is 15 days from the knowledge of the judgment rendered against you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reasons for Appealing a Judgement ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

An appeal is allowed when new evidence that could have changed the course of the case is discovered after the judgement is rendered or if an error of law occurred during the trial.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Other possibilities such as misinterpretation of the facts or improper application of the law may also open the door for an appeal review.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And if the appeal period\u00a0 is exceeded ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If<\/span>\u00a0the deadline for<\/span>\u00a0the notice of appeal<\/span>\u00a0is not met<\/span>, the decision\u00a0will be final and<\/span>\u00a0the consequences<\/span>\u00a0will be<\/span>imposed<\/span>, unless\u00a0an extension of time<\/span>\u00a0is granted<\/span>\u00a0you<\/span>.\u00a0Contact<\/span>\u00a0us for<\/span>\u00a0more information<\/span>\u00a0on the\u00a0possibility of<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0an extension of time<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0if the<\/span> period of appealing<\/span>\u00a0has expired.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
