As we all know, the lawsuit is based on evidence. But the evidence in the lawsuit has a time limit. The time limit for adducing evidence in the first instance is generally 10- 15 days after receiving the notice of adducing evidence from the court, and at the latest before the end of the trial in the first instance. If you don't apply to the court for an extension of the time limit for testifying, you may be condemned and fined by the court.
The second trial, if it is not the new evidence that cannot be obtained in the first trial stage, the court will generally not adopt it.
Compared with lawyers, ordinary people lack keen awareness of evidence and professional training in obtaining evidence. Often the evidence submitted in the first instance is less, or the direct evidence is less, and the indirect evidence is more, so it is difficult to form a complete chain of evidence. But the evidence actually existed for a long time. It will be more troublesome for lawyers to submit relevant evidence at the second trial.
Second, the appeal request can only be limited to the litigation request of first instance.
The appeal is due to the refusal to accept the judgment of the first instance, and the appeal request cannot go beyond the scope of the first instance litigation request, and can only be filed within the scope of the first instance litigation request.
For non-legal professionals, it is often difficult to accurately judge the litigation request in the face of cases with complex legal relations. There may be cases where you can request multiple projects, but only some of them are actually requested, or the request is wrong. It is possible that you could have claimed 6.5438+0 million yuan in this case, but in fact you only claimed 200,000 yuan. Even if the second trial won, it actually took 800 thousand less. It is also possible that you can claim a penalty of 6.5438 million yuan, but your claim for damages has no legal basis and the court cannot support it. No matter how hard you fight in the second instance, you can only lose.
So if it's not a case you're sure of, it's recommended to hire a lawyer in the first instance. Just like seeing a doctor, don't drag a minor illness into a serious illness before looking for a good doctor.
