The need and rationale for such a property was first discussed in January in project chat. If approved, this should probably be followed by an inverse property like "hears appeals from". Powerek38 (talk) 13:39, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support Makes sense to me. This is a unique relationship between entities that isn't well described by more general properties. I'll note that the domain is listed as governing body (Q895526), but I would narrow that to tribunal (Q1412224) because if the first decision maker isn't some kind of tribunal, it isn't an "appeal", it's just "taking the organ to court". --Arctic.gnome (talk) 16:40, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Arctic.gnome: Thank you for your support and comment. I can see your point, but I would rename the property rather than limit its scope. I mean, the law usually sets a clear path of legal challenges to a decision of a public body. I tried to show it in Example 3 above. For instance in Poland (I'll use the country with the legal system that is best known to me) we can take the provincial governor to the provincial administrative court on most of their decisions. Not to any court, for example not to civil or crimimal court, but to specific administrative court. I think we should allow this property to be used in such situations as well.

Support AFAIK there is no way to do this currently in proper way. PMG (talk) 17:47, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support I am not aware of any better way to model this, we probably really need a new property. Vojtěch Dostál (talk) 18:37, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
