It is a normal civil litigation activity to apply to the High Court for retrial. According to the provisions of the Civil Procedure Law, unless there are special provisions in the law, specific civil litigation acts can be exercised by the parties themselves or by lawyers.
However, if the parties entrust an attorney, it is suggested that the attorney should be responsible for submitting the retrial application materials to the High Court as much as possible. If there is any problem with the submitted materials, the attorney will handle it better and more timely than the parties.
