Does the Court of Appeal have any authority to conduct a de novo review of a decision from the trial court?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Lubarsky v. Latham & Watkins LLP, H035099 (Cal. App. 2011):
This rule applies even when the appellate court is required to conduct a de novo review, as we are required to do in this case. Although the trial court's decision is reviewed independently, the scope of appellate review is limited to those issues that have been adequately raised and supported in the appellant's brief. (Reyes v. Kosha (1998) 65 Cal.App.4th 451, 466, fn. 6 [summary judgment and summary adjudication case].)
