Law of Civil Procedure

Upon reviewing the brief, the court which rendered the appealed judgment may reconsider such judgment in terms of grounds for appeal without a hearing, unless necessary. The court shall, at its discretion, affirm or amend its judgment. If the court affirms the judgment, it shall refer it along with a copy of the case record and all papers to the court of appeals. If the court amends the judgment, the amended judgment shall be notified to the litigants and be governed by applicable procedures.
