What grounds of appeal are strong?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from George v. McMahon, 2008 BCCA 497 (CanLII):
In addressing the issue of prejudice to the respondents, I am not persuaded that the grounds of appeal are strong. The core issue in the appeal is the appellants’ submission that the chambers judge erred in finding, as a fact, that the letters the respondents wrote amounted to acknowledgments of the debt. The standard of review for findings of fact is a high one; the error must be overriding and palpable: Housen v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33, 2 S.C.R. 235.
