Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is correct. An appellate court's main role is to review the legal decisions made by a trial court. If the trial court makes an error of law, such as misinterpretation of a statute or precedent, the appellate court has the power to overturn the decision and send the case back to the trial court for further proceedings.
