    Can a plaintiff appeal when they feel like the verdict was unfair or that justice was not served?

    • @SingleStepEnglish
      @SingleStepEnglish  4 місяці тому

      That's a great question!
      In most legal systems, including those in the United States, a plaintiff typically has the right to appeal a verdict if they believe it was unfair or if they feel that justice was not served.
      However, there are specific procedures and criteria that must be met for an appeal to be considered by a higher court.

    Can that bail be in stamps or a promissory note also ? Can a non-civilian be quilty or a non-guild member be tried within that club ?

    Judge
    Jury is a group (12 people ) that helps to give a fear decision .
    Attorney, lawyer, solicitor or barrister ( a person who knows laws how to help a person)
    Verdict is getting to the truth.

      Thanks! I will see if I can make a video using that content.
      In simple terms, "compare to" is used for highlighting similarities, while "compare with" is used for examining similarities and differences. However, in some cases, the two phrases can be used interchangeably.
