Canon 1443.	The ordinary tribunal constituted by the Roman Pontiff to receive appeals is the Roman Rota.
Canon 1444.	The Roman Rota judges: 1° in second instance, cases which have been judged by ordinary tribunals of first instance and have been referred to the Holy See by a lawful appeal; 2° in third or further instance, cases which have been processed by the Roman Rota itself or by any other tribunal, unless there is question of an adjudged matter. §2 This tribunal also judges in first instance the cases mentioned in can. 1405 §3, and any others which the Roman Pontiff, either on his own initiative or at the request of the parties, has reserved to his tribunal and has entrusted to the Roman Rota. These cases are judged by the Rota also in second or further instances, unless the rescript entrusting the task provides otherwise.
Canon 1445.	§1 The supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura hears: 1° plaints of nullity, petitions for total reinstatement and other recourses against rotal judgements; 2° recourses in cases affecting the status of persons, which the Roman Rota has refused to admit to a new examination; 3° exceptions of suspicion and other cases against Auditors of the Roman Rota by reason of things done in the exercise of their office; 4° the conflicts of competence mentioned in can. 1416. §2 This same Tribunal deals with controversies which arise from an act of ecclesiastical administrative power, and which are lawfully referred to it.
