Key legal question
Whether the cross-appeal was admissible despite poor separation of arguments from the response to the main appeal.
Extracted holding
The cross-appeal was only admissible to the extent its reasoning could be separated from the response; otherwise it was inadmissible where it merely repeated the same submissions.
Extracted reasoning
A cross-appeal must be distinct in form and motivation from the response to the main appeal. Here the respondent's submissions largely overlapped and were treated as defensive arguments only where possible.
