Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court arbitrarily excluded documents showing a change in income from the alimony appeal record
Extracted holding
Yes. The record showed the wife had accepted the documents being added to the file, so the finding that they had not been contradicted was unsustainable.
Extracted reasoning
The hearing minutes expressly recorded the respondent's lack of objection to the filing of the documents. She could have addressed them or requested time to do so, and she also relied on them in her appellate submissions.
