Including unproven documents in appeal books

Okel v. Misheal, 2010 ONCA 562, deals with the not unknown practice of parties who include unproven documents in an appeal book. The Court says the practice is improper:

" It is not open to an appellant to simply include documents in an appeal book and expect this court to rely upon the information.  To do so is unfair to the respondent and is of no assistance to this court."
