Canon 1315

1. In order to prosecute an appeal, it is required and suffices

that the party call upon the services of the higher judge for the

emendation of the challenged sentence, append a copy of this sentence, and indicate the reasons for the appeal. 2. Meanwhile

the judge from whom the appeal is being made must transmit the

acts, duly authenticated by the notary, to the higher tribunal;

if the acts are written in a language unknown to the appellate

tribunal they are to be carefully translated into a language

known to the tribunal and authenticated.
