Peter A. Simm was sole counsel for the successful Appellant in Kraft  (1999, Ont. C.A.), vanquishing a Certified Specialist in Family Law (an area in which Simm does not otherwise practice).

Simm was retained after  the loss at trial, and after  a judge had refused to reopen the matter because there was not “an arguable case on the merits,” and after  the appeal had been dismissed for failure to perfect within time.

Simm first won a motion in the Court of Appeal to reinstate the appeal. His winning argument on the appeal itself focused on a single, novel point of law that had been overlooked at trial and by the law firm that retained him.

Kraft  is cited in 10 legal textbooks and is the subject of commentaries in two legal periodicals.
