What are the rules of appeal against a judgment of a civil court of Belgium?
In principle, any judgment rendered by a civil court may be appealed up to an upper court. Appeal against a judgment rendered itself on appeal is restricted to mere questions of law, and is brought before the Supreme Court, with the mandatory intervention of a lawyer admitted to the Supreme Court who will first render an advice on the chances of success of the appeal. The Supreme Court either rejects the appeal, or quashes the judgment, in which the hypothesis of the case is sent to another Court of Appeals which will render a new judgment on the merits.
