California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Wilson v. Landry, D072948 (Cal. App. 2018):
Because a "judgment or order of a lower court is presumed to be correct on appeal, . . . all intendments and presumptions are indulged in favor of its correctness." (In re Marriage of Arceneaux (1990) 51 Cal.3d 1130, 1133.) As a related concept, since such a judgment or order is " 'presumed correct,' " on appeal the appellant has the burden of establishing reversible error. (Denham v. Superior Court (1970) 2 Cal.3d 557, 564, italics omitted.)
