Legal Definition and Related Resources of Review

A statutory proceeding by way of writ or action of review, in the nature of a new trial of the issues previously tried between parties . It is a remedy which is not available when there is a regular and adequate remedy to correct errors in the original action or proceeding. Review is available on two grounds ; first, to correct errors of law apparent on the face of the record without further examination of matters of fact; second, new facts discovered since the decree , which should materially affect the decree and probably induce a different result.
