Definition of deny the appeal
Definition: Deny the appeal means to reject or refuse a request for a higher court to review a decision made by a lower court. It is the opposite of affirming a decision, which means to uphold or agree with it.
Example: The defendant's lawyer filed an appeal to overturn the guilty verdict, but the appellate court denied the appeal and upheld the original decision.
This example illustrates how denying the appeal means that the higher court did not agree with the request to change the decision made by the lower court.
It's every lawyer's dream to help shape the law, not just react to it.

Simple Definition
When someone disagrees with a decision made by a judge or court, they can ask for an appeal. This means they want a higher court to review the decision and possibly change it. If the higher court decides to deny the appeal, it means they agree with the original decision and it will stay the same. Another way to say this is to affirm the decision.
