All appeals are based on the evidence before the judge who made the original decision. The Court of Appeal does not hear evidence from witnesses and rarely considers evidence that was not presented to the trial judge. Before an appeal can be heard, the appellant must:
#get transcripts of all of the oral evidence at trial, and transcripts can be hideously expensive to obtain; , #prepare a book with all of the documents used as evidence at trial; , and,
#prepare a book with all of the pleadings filed in the Supreme Court proceeding.
