What is the test for making an argument on appeal?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Whittingham v. City of L. A., B276441 (Cal. App. 2018):

the plaintiff, but in the light most favorable to him, presenting his facts in an argumentative manner and as if they were true regardless of the findings of the trial court, omitting from such statement circumstances detrimental to the defendant and circumstances favorable to the plaintiff, presenting facts and circumstances which are favorable to him which are not in evidence, but which the court had refused to admit. He could not have taken greater license if he were making an argument to the jury after the evidence was closed. This is not good practice on appeal." (Bones v. Fusco (1937) 21 Cal.App.2d 476, 479.)
