The only issues that may be considered on appeal are:
Terms Used In 49 CFR 825.15
- Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
- Precedent: A court decision in an earlier case with facts and law similar to a dispute currently before a court. Precedent will ordinarily govern the decision of a later similar case, unless a party can show that it was wrongly decided or that it differed in some significant way.
(a) A finding of a material fact is erroneous;
(b) A necessary legal conclusion is without governing precedent or is a departure from or contrary to law or precedent;
(c) A substantial and important question of law, policy, or discretion is involved; or
(d) A prejudicial procedural error has occurred.
