áfrýjna

Áfrýjna is a term used in Icelandic law and legal contexts. It refers to the act of appealing a court decision or ruling. When a party in a legal case is dissatisfied with the outcome of a judgment rendered by a lower court, they have the right to áfrýjna. This means they can bring the case before a higher court for review. The higher court will then examine the proceedings and evidence from the lower court and may either uphold the original decision or overturn it. The process of áfrýjna is a fundamental aspect of the Icelandic legal system, ensuring that individuals have recourse against perceived judicial errors or injustices. There are specific rules and deadlines governing when and how an áfrýjna can be filed, typically involving submitting formal documentation to the appellate court. The availability of áfrýjna contributes to the fairness and transparency of the legal process, allowing for a second examination of cases.
