On the one hand it looks like the concept of Appeal does not exist in Halacha. Where a Din Torah is concerned, one has a choice to reject a particular Beis Din ??? ??? in favor of another, more experienced or more reputable one. But after the fact, there’s no way to appeal unless you can find that the first B”D made a fundamental error in hearing the testimony or in a Halachic ruling. But there is a statement in Talmud which infers that under certain conditions a Second Bais Din (Rabbinical Court)can vacate an order of the First Court. ??? ??? ??? ???? ????? ?? ???? ??? ??? ????? ??? ?? ?? ??? ???? ???? ????? ??????. which implies that if these conditions (Being more prominent and having a greater number of Rabbis on the board) are met, they could vacate the verdict of the lower court.
