Although it is called Court of Appeal, this refers to appeals to various court levels and numerous rulings. If there is a court ruling with which you disagree, you must act quickly. Notices of Appeal have very short time limits. If the Order was granted without your attendance and you just found out about it, or if it was granted and in your view, you were not given the full hearing, or you think that the judge was wrong, you must act immediately. Every day counts because sometimes the appeal periods can be as short as 15 days. Lawyers in our firm have experience in Appeal courts. Some of the lawyers have experience in the lower level of appeal, which may evolve from Provincial Offenses Court to the Ontario Court of Justice; from the Ontario Court of Justice to the Superior Court; from the Superior Court to the Divisional Court; Appeals of rulings from Administrative Tribunals and up to the Court of Appeal for the Province of Ontario. For a consultation to proceed appropriately, during the consultation the lawyer should receive the judgment or ruling in its entirety and some of the background documents. This area of law requires quick action to put in the Notice of Appeal and a strategy or plan to deal with the overall issues and proceeding. |
