What is the burden of proving reversible error on appeal?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Thunder v. McKelvy, C065753, Super. Ct. No. FL343773 (Cal. App. 2012):

On appeal, a judgment or order of the trial court is presumed to be correct, and all intendments and presumptions are indulged to support it on matters as to which the record is silent. Thus, an appellant has the burden to affirmatively demonstrate reversible error. (Denham v. Superior Court (1970) 2 Cal.3d 557, 564; In re Marriage of Gray (2002) 103 Cal.App.4th 974, 977-978.)
