British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Langtec Capital Corp. v. Langset, 1997 CanLII 2030 (BC SC):

Langset asserts Delgamuuk v. British Columbia [1933] 5 W.W.R. 97, per Wallace J.A. at page 23 as authority for "the trite proposition that an appeal is from the result, not the reasons given for that result," to again quote from submission.
