Adducing fresh evidence

An appeal is generally run on the evidence that was available at the time of hearing except if the appeal is heard "de novo" (that is, from the beginning as if the original hearing had not occurred).

The court does, however, have the power to permit further evidence, particularly if that evidence was not available at the time of the hearing and after a party has made an application to adduce that evidence at appeal.
