How shall i call it, statement of appeal?
0 I have such a query. 02 br
02 br
00 All my colleagues here call it a "statement of appeal" by which a party to a civil case, when dissatisfied with the judgment of the court of first trial, brings the case to a court of higher jurisdiction (also called the court of appeal). 02 br

00 I know in Chinese we call it a Shang Su Zhuang. I looked this up in a Chinese English Legal Dictionary (edited by some Chinese of course) and only to find the expressions "appellate petition" and "Petition for appeal" rather than "statement of appeal" as we commonly use. 02 br
02 br
00 this is confusing. so i'd like to hear your comments. 02 br
02 br
00 remind you: this may not be so specilized legal query. for a native speaker, maybe s/he can hear this in news or magazines. so please give your comments whether a lawyer or not. 02 br

0 There's the term "a motion for appeal", I heard it from an American lawyer, working in our organization, but I'm not sure if it was a written form that he meant - I also came across Petition for Leave to Appeal and Petition for Appeal, the latter is the safest version I think 05 0 010id 1

00 As a non-lawyer, I''d say a statement just gives the facts and a petition makes a request. 02 br

0 hi vincent, i am in china too, and often come across these type of translation problems in business. i think what is most important is your target audience. 02 br

00 my experience is that different countries (and their legal systems) will use different terminology, and it may even vary across state jurisdictions. so finding one "correct" term that is relevant across all

00 I share your view that the choice of words has a concern with the purpose of your translation. actually all our translation(CTE)/papers drafted in English are for the reference and approval of our freign principals. the papers with which we deal with the court are in Chinese. Probably
