appeal : legal process to a higher court or just a kind of claim
<p>The image I attached below is the section concerning the right of appeal in Employment's Compensation Act of Nigeria. In that context, I wonder whether an 'appeal' represents a legal process to a higher court, or it means a kind of claim to the committee or company. I'm not an English-native speaker. Please, let me understand. </p>

<p>Thank you! </p>

<p>The decision can be appealed to the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund Management Board. Any appeal of the board's decision goes to the National Industrial Court (next page).</p>
