Article Summary

This q and a explains the difference between an appeal and a review in insolvency proceedings. It states that an appeal is an application to a higher court to overturn a decision of a lower court, on the basis that the lower court's decision was wrong or unjust. Permission is required to appeal. A review is where a court revisits its own decision or another court reviews the decision, due to new evidence or a change in circumstances. It is not a 'back door' appeal. The main difference is that an appeal goes to a higher court asserting the lower court was wrong, while a review involves the same or another court reconsidering due to new evidence or changed circumstances.
