Legal Definitions - consolidated appeal

A consolidated appeal is a type of appeal where two or more parties with similar interests join together to appeal a decision. This is done to save time and resources, as well as to present a united front. For example, if two employees were both fired for the same reason, they might file a consolidated appeal to challenge their terminations together.

Another example of a consolidated appeal is when multiple plaintiffs join together to appeal a class action lawsuit. By consolidating their appeals, they can present a stronger case and increase their chances of success.
