What is the burden of affirmatively showing error in a decision?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Anderson v. HSBC Bank U.S. N.A., B259104 (Cal. App. 2015):

Plaintiffs have the burden to affirmatively show error in the trial court's decision. To demonstrate error, plaintiffs must provide meaningful legal analysis and citation to legal authority. (Multani v. Witkin & Neal (2013) 215 Cal.App.4th 1428, 1457.) If such burden is not met, "plaintiffs have forfeited any claim of error." (Ibid.)
