Appeals

An adverse verdict or decision is not always the end of the road. Hyatt Legal provides specialist appellate advocacy for clients seeking to challenge convictions, sentences, or civil judgments before the Court of Appeal of Jamaica and, where merited, the Privy Council in London. Appeals require a different set of skills from trial work - the ability to identify and articulate errors of law, construct compelling written arguments, and present oral submissions to appellate judges who have already reviewed the record. Matthew Hyatt's experience at every level of Jamaica's court system makes Hyatt Legal well-placed to advise on the merits of an appeal and to pursue it with maximum effect.
