If your child does not agree with the judgment of the juvenile's court, an appeal may be lodged. The appeal must be lodged within fourteen days of the verdict. The criminal judge on appeal will review the whole case. The judges on appeal are called counsellors and the Advocate General will tell what the Public Prosecutor thinks of the offence and, if he thinks the minor is an offence, he will impose a penalty. The judgment on appeal is called a judgment. The appeal will not be heard by the court, but by the court of appeal.

If the judgment of the court of appeal is also disappointing, there is still the possibility of appeal in cassation. The judgment of the court of appeal is then submitted to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is the highest court in criminal cases in the Netherlands. The Supreme Court will examine whether the law has been correctly applied. Also in cassation proceedings the criminal lawyers of Berte Advocaten can assist you as a minor.
