An appeal may be lodged against a judgment in a trial and a decision on the merits of the case issued in non-contentious (uncontested) proceedings.
An appeal may be filed against a preliminary, partial, supplementary judgment or judgment issued as a result of an anti-enforcement action.
Only the plaintiff may appeal against a default judgment. An appeal can only be filed against an existing judgment. Appeals against a partial judgment are permitted only to the extent that the partial judgment has already resolved the claims of the lawsuit. For this reason, an appeal regarding interest for the period not covered by the partial judgment is not admissible (I CR 410/68).
The need for a legal interest in appealing against a judgment is controversial in the doctrine. There is a legal interest in an appeal not only when the judgment was issued contrary to the submitted request, but also when the party cannot derive from such a decision all the benefits that should be provided by a court judgment free from defects (I ACa 122/2006).
