What is the case law on critique evidence?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from D.M.B. v D.W.A.L, 2018 BCSC 1254 (CanLII):

I too support the view that critique evidence is rarely appropriate. It generally - as here - has little probative value, adds expense and risks elevating the animosity between the parties. See also Dimitrijevic v. Pavolvich, 2016 BCSC 1529.
