The following excerpt is from Atkins v. Canada (Attorney General), 2009 FC 939 (CanLII):

While there was reference to the decision in Nolan v. Canada (Attorney General), 2005 FC 1305, this case does not turn on issues of burden of proof or whether an applicant must meet some high threshold of proof.
