When to use this draft

Essential contents

  • Judgment sought to be reviewed with date
  • Error apparent on the face of the record identified
  • No re-argument of merits
  • Limitation for review
  • Affidavit in support

Drafting notes

  1. Review is not a rehearing - identify a single clear error and stay with it.
  2. Point to a statutory provision or binding precedent that was not considered.

Adapt before filing
