What grounds of appeal apply to a finding of fact in a motion of appeal?
New Brunswick, Canada
The following excerpt is from B.H.M. Limitée and Brideau v. Caisse populaire de Shippagan Limitée, 2012 NBCA 30 (CanLII):
The appellants raise several grounds of appeal which are clearly related to the trial judge’s findings of fact. A highly deferential standard of review applies to these findings: the standard of palpable and overriding error (Housen v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33, [2002] 2 S.C.R. 235).
