a higher court agrees to hear it.
Explanation: A losing party must seek review from an appellate court; the appeal proceeds only if the higher court has jurisdiction and agrees to hear the matter. A hung jury (unable to decide) leads to a mistrial/retrial, not an appeal; a judge’s disagreement with a jury or absence of precedent by itself is not an automatic basis for appeal.
