Answer 1

Answer:

Option D: we don't know who wins yet because the case is been returned to trial court for additional steps

Explanation: a person appeals for a case when the decision made by the court does not favour him. An appeal does not technically means the at the person will win the case at a higher court. It simply means that the higher court will look into the case again. Most appealed cases are looked into by the higher court. They help to detect if there were any errors that has be made by the lower court. They also help to ensure clarity and also interpret the law properly. In the court of law an appeal case taken to a higher court is looked into properly. Other steps are taken so as to give the right verdict.
