dismiss vs. turn down Explanation: When an appeal is dismissed (odmítnuto) it means that it doesnt get looked at by the higher court, while when it is turned down (zamítnuto), the higher court looks at the appeal and agrees with the judgment of the lower court. You may know better native terms, though. |

rejected vs. denied Explanation: I think the difference is very small. In my opinion, odmítnuto is approximately the same as rejected--they refused to consider it. Zamítnuto gives me the impression that the appeal received a very firm no. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 41 mins (2012-03-25 15:48:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I answered rather quickly before reading Hannah Geiger's explanation, but it confirms my hypothesis, actually. An appeal is odmítnut if it doesn't have all the formal requirements. It's not given any consideration at all. If it's zamítnut, however, it has been considered but found unsubstantiated. |
