What are the grounds for reversal at the Court of Appeal?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from O'Callaghan v. Southern Pac. Co., 20 Cal.Rptr. 708, 202 Cal.App.2d 364 (Cal. App. 1962):
Appellant's remaining three grounds for reversal appear to raise questions of law which this court may properly resolve by reference to the clerk's transcript alone. (See Watson v. Aced (1957) 156 Cal.App.2d 87, 91, 319 P.2d 83, where the court restated the rule that an appellate court may properly determine from the clerk's transcript whether the judgment of the lower court is supported by its findings.)
