Appeal

The court of appeal supplies appeal instructions together with its decision. The instructions indicate whether leave to appeal is required and how the appellant should proceed in the case. Appeal instructions are supplied also with decisions which the court of appeal has handed down as the first instance.

The letter of appeal must be submitted within 60 days of the decision of the court of appeal. In cases that have been decided by the court of appeal at first instance, the
letter of appeal shall, however, be submitted within 30 days.

The appellant cannot refer to circumstances or evidence not already presented in the district court or court of appeal. An exception is granted, if the appellant has not been able to refer to a circumstance or evidence before or he or she has had a valid reason not to do so. If the appellant wishes to refer to new evidence, he or she must declare this in the appeal and state what is to be proven by the evidence, as well as why the evidence has not been presented before.
