Aix-en-Provence.</figcaption></figure> <p>In <a href="/wiki/France" title="France">France</a>, a <i><b>cour d’appel</b></i> (court of appeals) of the <i>ordre judiciaire</i> (judiciary) is a <i>juridiction de droit commun du second degré</i>, an appellate court of general jurisdiction. It reviews the judgments of a tribunal judiciaire. When one of the parties is not satisfied with the trial court’s judgment, the party can file an appeal. While decisions of a court of first instance are termed "jugements" in French, a court of appeals hands down an <i>arrêt</i> (decision on appeal), which may either affirm or reverse the judgment of the court below. An arrêt (judgment) of the court of appeals may be further appealed <i>en cassation</i>. If the appeal is admissible at the <i>cour de cassation</i>, that court does not re-judge the facts of the matter a third time, but may investigate and verify whether the rules of law were properly applied by the lower courts. </p><p>French territories currently contain 36 courts of appeals, six of which are overseas, and a <i>tribunal supérieur d'appel</i> on <a href="/wiki/Saint_Pierre_and_Miquelon" title="Saint Pierre and Miquelon">Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon</a>. </p><p>In France itself, each court governs several <i>départements</i> or similar territories, generally two to four. The courts are often established in the same cities as the former <i><a href="/wiki/Parlement" title="Parlement">Parlements</a></i>, the court jurisdictions of the <i><a href="/wiki/Ancien_R%C3%A9gime" class="mw-redirect" title="Ancien Régime">Ancien Régime</a></i>. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Court_of_appeal_(France)&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>These courts were created under the name of <i>tribunal d'appel</i> (appeal tribunal) by the <i>loi du 27 ventôse an VIII</i> (law of March 18, 1800), which put an end to the "<i>appel circulaire</i>" which had been put in place in 1790.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The "appeal tribunals" became "courts of appeal" through the <a href="/wiki/Senatus_consultum" title="Senatus consultum"><i>sénatus-consulte</i></a> of 28 floréal an XII (May 18, 1804) and took the name "imperial courts" in 1810.
