What is the test for admissible evidence in the context of a motion for summary judgment?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Cowichan Tribes v Canada (Attorney General), 2019 BCSC 1646 (CanLII):

I find Bower v. Cominco Ltd., [1998] B.C.J. No. 977, most helpful in this application because it addresses this issue of whether the evidence of a person named as a representative is admissible against all other members of the represented class.
