John Bray CLE - Facts without trial: fact-finding in appellate courts

Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2025, 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm
Location: Courtroom 8, Sir Samuel Way Building (and online)

Adversarial fact-finding is the foundation upon which judicial decisions are built. However, appellate courts are sometimes forced to make assessments of fact in circumstances where there has not been a trial – ‘facts without trial’. Part of the challenge of these ‘facts without trial’ is that in these cases, appellate courts are often confronted by matters beyond the immediate interests and knowledge of the parties, involving broader social facts and extended implications.
