Can you tell me what's the difference between disc herniation and disc protrusion? I saw two different surgeons for an opinion on what's causing my back pain. One told me it is a disc herniation. The other said it was a disc protrusion.
Availability of an appeal from a final judgment does not require the permission of the trial court, and does not require the permission of the appeals court unless the case falls into one of the discretionary appeal categories listed in OCGA Â§ 5-6-35(a).
1 In court a judgment becomes final when the case is over and a judge has signed a piece of paper. 2  The judgment is then effective until it is satisfied (by payment, or by doing whatever the judgment says) or until the judge has a legal reason to set the judgment aside. A court of appeals can reverse a case and change the judgment, or reverse the case and vacate the judgment (everybody starts over and you retry the case until you get a new judgment). 2  In the UK there is a phrase known as set aside judgment.
