It is often joked that the National Court of Appeals, or The Court of Redress and Balance, has sat in session so few times that no one can remember the actual scope of its powers. In actual fact they are essentially correct- For in nearly five hundred and thirty years this final appeal venue has never once come into calling or requirement.

It exists essentially as a mirror for the decisions of the Grand Court of the Union- A final place to plead a case before all hopes of juidical appeal are dashed. It is however controversial in nature, in that those whom sit upon the Court of Appeal to render a final decision are from any viewpoint. Neutrality is disputed. Three judges are selected from the supreme power: The Governor-General, The Overseer Aengelis and the Supreme-Justicar whom form a tri-group of the most senior Kaeneians.
