Appeals to Supreme Court—summaries of arguments
5138 Appeals to Supreme Court—summaries of arguments
A party’s summary of arguments must state as briefly as possible—
the issues in the appeal; and
an outline of the argument expected to be made on each issue, mentioning the steps in the argument and any legislation, authority or finding of fact to be relied on for each step; and
if there is to be a challenge to any of the findings of fact of the court or tribunal—
the claimed error (including any failure to make a finding of fact); and
the reasons why the party considers the finding was an error; and
the finding that the party considers should have been made; and
for an appellant—a chronology of the facts; and
if a respondent disagrees with an appellant’s chronology of facts—the respondent’s chronology of facts that highlights where the respondent’s chronology differs from the appellant’s chronology.
If the summary relies on a matter in another document, the summary must—
for a document mentioned in rule 5139 (3) (a) to (c)—identify the document as mentioned in the paragraphs; and
for other documents—if relevant, identify the page of the document relied on.
