Can new evidence be introduced in small claims court on appeal?
Full Question:
I was a defendant in a small claims case, where the motion had no merrit, therefore the case was dismissed with prejudice. The plaintiff has appealed the decision. My question is: does this mean he is appealing the decision of the Magisgtrate based on facts already submitted, or is he going to be able to bring in any new evidence?

Answer:
Typically an appeal only allows new evidence to be introduced if it could not have been discovered earlier.
