California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Stupp v. Schilders (In re Stupp), A142302 (Cal. App. 2016):

A fundamental principle of appellate review is that a judgment or order that is challenged on appeal is presumed to be correct. (Denham v. Superior Court (1970) 2 Cal.3d 557, 564.) It is the appellant's burden to affirmatively demonstrate error. (Ibid.)
