A party to a legal action who wishes to appeal the decision of a lower tribunal must file a petition for appeal with the Supreme Court of Appeals. Under its discretionary jurisdiction, the Court may grant, accept, or refuse the petition for appeal. The Court may accept the petition, which means that the petitioner must present an oral argument before the Court grants the petition, or the Court may grant the petition based on the briefs. If the Court refuses the petition, the Court issues an order notifying the parties. The order does not state the reason why the petition was refused.
