How have the courts dealt with credibility and reliability issues between the parties?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Farmer v. Farmer, 2021 ONSC 5913 (CanLII):
As already indicated, there were credibility and reliability issues on the part of both parties. Both parties’ evidence was imperfect. Had I been required to resolve a contest of credibility between the parties (which the arbitrator did not do), this might have posed a problem on the appeal. See again Bruno v. Dacosta ¶ 28-29. But I need not resolve credibility between the parties.
