Appeal as a guarantee of the right to judicial protection, appeared and took shape in the
Roman civil procedure. Thanks to the reception of the Roman law the achievements in the
field of appeal were adopted by the European legal system, which allowed to create a unified
basis for the legislative appearance of the right to appeal a court decision and proceedings in
the appellate court. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, as part of the widespread
reform of civil proceedings, changes have been made in the appeal process. Many of them
are in line with the provisions of the Roman sources of law – the Digest of Justinian and
the Code of Justinian. Legislative regulation of Russian civil appeals is characterized by
goal ambiguity, which negatively affects the quality of judicial protection and necessitates
changes. The experience of Roman appeal allows to answer topical issues of appellate
procedure, to determine the vector of development of the appellate court proceedings.
The article proves that the source of legal knowledge about civil appeal is corresponding
regulations of Justinian’s Code and provisions of Digest of Justinian.

Keywords: appeal; Roman law; Roman civil procedure; right of appeal; appeal; appellate
proceedings; grounds for reversal of judgment.
