After court

If you started a case in the Federal Circuit Court the case will end when:

• you reach an agreement with your employer
• you discontinue (end) the case, or 
• the Federal Circuit Court makes a decision after a hearing.

After your case has ended, you should consider the following:

Enforcing agreements

If you settled the case with your employer, they may have agreed to pay you some or all of what you were entitled to. If your employer does not do what they agreed, it is possible to enforce the agreement.

For more information, see Enforcing an agreement.

Enforcing orders

If your employer doesn't follow an order or judgment made by the Federal Circuit Court, it is possible to have it enforced.

For more information, see Enforcing a judgment.

Appeals

An appeal is an application to a higher court asking that the decision of a lower court be changed or cancelled. If you want to appeal, you must do so within 21 days of the Federal Circuit Court making its decision.

For more information, see Appeals.
