Is it not supposed to work like this? 1) Someone brings a suit and it is decided on fact. 2) The appellate court may then judge the application of law, but not determine fact. 3) Then, the supreme court may review and again judge the application of law, perhaps addressing conflicts between laws. Where is this now? I think step 1 hasn’t occurred.

An appellate court does NOT try questions of fact. But raised here are questions of law and they need to be resolved.
