What entitlement does the Court have to examine evidence that is not in the record?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from Dodd v. Alberta (Registrar of Motor Vehicle Services), 2010 ABQB 184 (CanLII):
In response, I note firstly that the entitlement to examine referred to in Richardson v. Honeywell Ltd. is subject to the requirement that the evidence sought to be adduced relates to issues on the application. Where the evidence is sought for use on a judicial review application, limitations on the admissibility of evidence extrinsic to the record means that Rules 266 and 267 will have a more limited scope than in relation to other types of applications.
