I came across this speech from
John I. Laskin, J.A.

Court of Appeal - Ontario

FORGET THE WIND UP AND MAKE THE PITCH: SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR WRITING MORE PERSUASIVE FACTUMS

Thanks LV, that was an interesting read. My lawyers have always maintained that the factum was the most important "paper work" of going to court. More important/persuasive than the actual affidavit. After reading this article, I have to agree.
