text: The distinction between right of action, right of recourse and right of appeal is as follows: right of action means a person's right to begin judicial proceedings in order to obtain redress of a wrong committed by someone else; right of recourse is a specific kind of right of action and the term is used particularly in cases where a negotiable instrument has been dishonoured, and sometimes where a breach of duty or warranty has occurred. Right of appeal means a person's right to appeal to a government department, similar body or court against an administrative decision, or to a higher court against a decision of a lower court. Right of action and right gf recourse are sometimes contracted to action and recourse respectively. If in doubt as to whether to use remedy or right of action/recourse /appeal. use right of recourse. Proceedings and application can be replaced by appeal, e.g. to a government department or a court against an administrative decision, to a higher court against the decision of a lower court. In judicial proceedings, as stated earlier, the correct meaning of appeal is that just mentioned, i.e. application to a higher court than the one which took the decision objected to. If the step is taken in the same court as gave the decision, i.e. if the court is asked to review (reconsider) its decision, the correct term is application, but appeal is often used loosely in this sense as well. Application can be replaced by petition where the act in question commences proceedings for mercy, pardon, amparo or habeas corpus» If in doubt as to whether to use proceedings, application, appeal or petition, use application. The verbs recourir, recurrir and recurrirse should be translated in accordance with what has been said about recours and recurso.
