Can a defendant review some factual findings made by the trial judge?
Manitoba, Canada
The following excerpt is from Northwood v. Bristol Aerospace Ltd., 2004 MBCA 162 (CanLII):
3 The defendant argued that this court was in a position to review some of the factual findings made by the trial judge because the evidence before him was more in the nature of an agreed statement of facts. I am not inclined to do so based on the principles set out in Housen v. Nikolaisen, [2002] 2 S.C.R. 235, 2002 SCC 33.
