Whether a technical application of appellate rules should bar a review of the merits of an appellate case, when substantial compliance with the rules is evident in the record

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether a technical application of appellate rules should bar a review of the merits of an appellate case, when substantial compliance with the rules is evident in the record. 2. Whether, as a matter of law, the lower appellate court should have granted rehearing in light of the appellant having corrected any defects in her brief and because the prior defects did not warrant dismissal.
