Go to the Clerk of Courts and file an appeal. I'm assuming it's a civil matter. You can't revoke the decision however you can appeal it.

If you believe that you have been wrongly convicted then your only option is to appeal to the Crown Court.. The same is true if you wish to appeal against the sentence.. Were you represented by a solicitor? If so ask them to get this up and running for you - having first asked their advice as to whether or not the sentence was fair in the circumstances.. If you represented yourself then you will have to go back to the court and ask them to assist you in making an application.

See your solicitor and ask them to lodge an appeal against sentence...it will be heard (if agreed to) in the Crown Court...but beware...if you get an appeal hearing you could easily end up with a stiffer sentence if a judge sees fit to add to the sentence!!
