What is the basis for an appeal?
The principal grounds for appeal are (1) that the lower court made a serious error of law and/or (2) that the verdict in the trial was against the weight of the evidence. "Harmless errors" that are unlikely to have made a substantial impact on the result are not a basis for reversing the judgment of a lower court.
