Can an appeal be filed if the judgment grants unrequested relief?

Question

Ali Faizan Syed · Accepted Answer

An appeal is permitted if the First Instance judgment grants relief that was not requested by the parties or exceeds the scope of their specific requests. Similarly, if the judgment fails to address requests that were made by the parties, an appeal can be filed regardless of the claim's total value. This ground for appeal protects the rights of the litigants to have their specific case heard and decided according to the evidence and claims they actually presented to the tribunal.
