An appellate court, commonly called an appeals court, court of appeals (American English),appeal court (British English), court of second instance or second instance court, is any court of law that is empowered to hear an appeal of a trial court or other lower tribunal. In most jurisdictions, the court system is divided into at least three levels: the trial court, which initially hears cases and reviews evidence and testimony to determine the facts of the case; at least one intermediate appellate court; and a supreme court (or court of last resort) which primarily reviews the decisions of the intermediate courts. A jurisdiction's supreme court is that jurisdiction's highest appellate court. Appellate courts nationwide can operate by varying rules.
The authority of appellate courts to review decisions of lower courts varies widely from one jurisdiction to another. In some places, the appellate court has limited powers of review. "Generally speaking, an appellate court's judgment provides 'the final directive of the appeals courts as to the matter appealed, setting out with specificity the court's determination that the action appealed from should be affirmed, reversed, remanded or modified'".

The legal battle over the teachers increased pay award continued on Tuesday with the court of appeal adjourning the hearing of a petition filed by the Teachers Service Commission contesting the ruling by the labour and employment court. The hearing was adjourned to Tuesday next week after lawyers representing the teachers unions asked for more time to consider whether to continue participating in the suit which has been consolidated with a counter suit filed by KNUT. Meanwhile, the opposition CORD coalition is gearing up for its rally to be held at the Uhuru park grounds this Wednesday to express solidarity with the teachers and pile pressure on the government to pay the increased salaries.
ON Tuesday a U.S. appeals court ruled that the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is unconstitutional because too much power is vested in the regulator’s sole director. It ruled, however, that it can continue operating with the director removable by the president. In its challenge to the financial watchdog created by the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform act, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled in favor of lender PHH Corp and threw out the $109 million penalty imposed on the company. In 2014, after the agency accused the lender of referring customers to mortgage insurers who in turn bought reinsurance from a PHH unit, PHH objected. The bureau cast the reinsurance payments as improper kickbacks and in June, imposed a $109 million penalty against PHH. ...

A Washington D.C. appeals court ruled Tuesday that the structure of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is unconstitutional, but that it can still continue to operate. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled 2 to 1 that the structure of the agency—created five years ago to protect consumers from abuses by the financial services industry—is unconstitutional. Specifically, the appellate court took issue with the CFPB’s single director, Richard Cordray, who can only be removed by the president for cause.

Read your free e-book: http://downloadapp.us/mebk/50/en/B00ELK24BS/book The United States Circuit Courts of Appeals are among the most important governmental institutions in our society. However, because the Supreme Court can hear less than 150 cases per year, the Circuit Courts (with a combined caseload of over 60,000) are, for practical purposes, the courts of last resort for all but a tiny fraction of federal court litigation. Thus, their significance, both for ultimate dispute resolution and for the formation and application of federal law, cannot be overstated.yet, in the last forty years, a dramatic increase in caseload and a systemic resistance to an increased judgeship have led to a crisis. Signed published opinions form only a small percentage of dispositions; judges confer on fif...
