Appeal
An appeal is a process for requesting a formal change to an official decision.
An appellate court, commonly called an appeals court , is any court of law that is empowered to hear an appeal of a trial court or other lower tribunal.

Right of Appeal
The right of appeal is not an inherent but a statutory right.
Once the law provides for an appeal, a person who complies with the prescribed conditions gets the vested right to have the appeal dealt with under the law.
