Can a party who fails to raise issues before the trial court raise new issues on appeal?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Israni v. Chawla, D069124 (Cal. App. 2017):
9. A party who fails to raise issues before the trial court ordinarily waives those contentions on appeal. (Chatterjee v. Kizer (1991) 231 Cal.App.3d 1348, 1359.) Nonetheless, a new issue may be considered on appeal when the issue may be resolved as a matter of law. (Ibid.)
