Appeals can be daunting for many family lawyers accustomed to the trench warfare of oral submissions and contested evidence. Whereas the outcome of a questionable parenting application or over-aggressive interim property division can sometimes be saved by the brilliance of your oral advocacy, the Court of Appeal is more interested in hard law, known facts, and the written record before it. In canvassing recent case law, this on-demand program examines the standard of review and levels of appellate scrutiny in family law appeals.

This on-demand program was originally broadcasted as part of a webinar series in October and November, 2021.

The total running time is approximately 55 minutes.
