After launching a civil appeal, the next task for an appellant is to prepare the documentary platform – the key to the appeal.  The platform consists of two components:  the appeal record and the extracts of key evidence.  This paper offers valuable advice on how to prepare these documents, with citations to the Rules of Court. A separate overview of the applicable Rules is attached.
