Nova Scotia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Nova Scotia (Community Services) v States, 2014 NSFC 28 (CanLII):
In FCSCC v. S.D.H., supra., Milner, J.F.C., stated: “Judges are expected to consider all of the evidence presented by all of the parties in any court proceeding. They are not, however, required to figure out everything that has happened outside the courtroom, and in most cases they would be unable to do so…Judges are only required to decide whether they are satisfied, according to the applicable standard of proof, if what has been alleged has been proven.”
