Does the Court of Appeal have any authority or authority to interfere with findings of fact or credibility?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from R.E.L. v. M.L.S.B., 2008 BCSC 663 (CanLII):
As is set out in Lu v. Mao, 2007 BCCA 609, an appeal is not a re-trial and an appeal court should not interfere lightly with findings of fact or findings of credibility. The task of an appeal court is not to substitute findings of fact with those made by the trial judge.
