What is the burden of proving error against an order of the trial court?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Laguna Auto Body v. Farmers Ins. Exchange, 231 Cal.App.3d 481, 282 Cal.Rptr. 530 (Cal. App. 1991):

The order of the trial court is presumed correct and all intendments and presumptions are indulged to support the order on matters to which the record is silent. It is appellants' burden to affirmatively demonstrate error and, where the evidence is in conflict, this court will not disturb the trial court's findings. (Young v. Rosenthal (1989) 212 Cal.App.3d 96, 123, 260 Cal.Rptr. 369; Ellis v. Roshei Corp. (1983) 143 Cal.App.3d 642, 645, fn. 2, 192 Cal.Rptr. 57.)
