frivolous appeal

Read a random definition: ad coelum et ad inferos

A quick definition of frivolous appeal:

Frivolous appeal means when someone files an appeal without any good reason, usually just to delay paying a debt or to bother the other party. It's like when a kid complains about something that isn't really a big deal just to get attention. Sometimes, the court can punish the person who filed the frivolous appeal by making them pay extra money.

A more thorough explanation:

A frivolous appeal is when someone files an appeal without any legal basis, usually to delay paying a judgment or to pressure the other party to settle. It is a type of appeal that has no chance of winning and is filed for improper reasons.

For example, if someone loses a court case and files an appeal just to delay paying the judgment, that would be considered a frivolous appeal. Another example is if someone files an appeal without any legal argument or evidence to support their case.

Frivolous appeals can result in penalties, such as having to pay the other party's legal fees or being fined by the court. The purpose of the appeal process is to provide a fair and just review of a lower court's decision, not to abuse the system for personal gain.
