Answer:

TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

An appeal is the procedural instrument used to modify or correct the course of a legal process. It occurs when the party itself, or person in charge, where appropriate, requests the review of a court decision.

The appeal must be lodged by application or by termination in the case file, ie it is not a new action and is, as a rule, directed to another court. However, it may be referred to the same body that issued the decision, as in the case of infringement and declaration embargoes.
