On appeal, the Court of Appeals is limited to reviewing which type of questions?

• A. Legal questions
• B. Facts
• C. Both law and fact
• D. Constitutional questions only

Answer: (A)

Appellate review by the Court of Appeals focuses on questions of law. It determines whether the trial court correctly interpreted and applied legal standards, statutes, and constitutional provisions. It does not reweigh evidence or reassess credibility of witnesses—the factual findings from the trial, when supported by the record, are generally given deference. If the dispute turns on how the law should be understood or applied to the facts, that’s a legal question for the Court of Appeals to resolve. Hence, the Court of Appeals is limited to reviewing legal questions.
