Correcting Defective Appeals

Summary

In Pennsylvania, a defective petition for allowance of appeal to the PA Supreme Court may be amended. Missing elements can be corrected by following the PA Rules of Appellate Procedure. Waivers in appeals involve relinquishing known rights, such as not raising issues at trial. Exclusion of critical evidence, like a psychiatrists letter, may be grounds for appeal due to due process concerns. If a letter from a childs psychiatrist was not shared with a parent, it could impact the fairness of the trial. Consider consulting a family law attorney for guidance.
