Va. Sup. Ct. R. 5A:18
Preservation of Issues for Appellate Review
No ruling of the trial court or the Virginia Workers' Compensation Commission
will be considered as a basis for reversal unless an objection was stated with reasonable
certainty at the time of the ruling, except for good cause shown or to enable this Court to
attain the ends of justice. A mere statement that the judgment or award is contrary to the
law and the evidence is not sufficient to preserve the issue for appellate review.
