Peter A. Simm has a substantial record of success in civil appeals. Across Canada, 92 appellate court decisions have cited Simm's cases, including three Supreme Court of Canada decisions, plus two by foreign appellate courts. In difficult or complex matters where he was not previously involved, his experienced yet “fresh eyes” have demonstrably brought valuable insights. He represented the winning Appellants as counsel or co-counsel, respectively, in Kraft (Ont. C.A.) and in Richmond (Ont. Div. Ct.). On the flip side, Simm was co-counsel for the successful respondents on appeal in Amberwood (Ont. C.A.), in R & S Transportation (Ont. C.A.), and in Machado (Ont. Div. Ct.).
