Canon 1064

1. The metropolitan tribunal which is not distinct from the

tribunal of the eparchy of the metropolitan is the appellate tribunal for sentences of the eparchial tribunals. 2. In cases in

first instances tried before the metropolitan or another eparchial bishop for whom there is no superior authority below the

Roman Pontiff, the appeal is to be made to the tribunal which the

metropolitan or eparchial bishop has designated in a stable

manner, with the approval of the Apostolic See, with due regard

for cann. 139 and 175.
