Not to seem disrespectful, but "Or what?"

Seriously, "or the appeal automatically succeeds."?  Or, "or the appeal 
automatically fails."?  Does it matter what the appeal is (the scope of 
the question wasn't limited to the current situation, so the answer must 
apply in broad scope as well)?

I'd urge being careful here, because it a similar failure to spell out 
the details that triggered what amounted to a bit of a constitutional 
crisis, tho the worst now seems past, I believe with the correct decision 
being made.  (My thanks to all involved.)

So the "or what" matters, as does the scope, which is why I'm asking 
about it.
