British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from R.K.D. v. R, 1997 CanLII 12576 (BC SC):
That passage was considered, and explained, in R v. Burns 1994 CanLII 127 (SCC), [1994] 1 S.C.R. 656, at page 663: " . . . the statement does not refer to the case where the trial judge has failed to allude to difficulties in the evidence, but rather to the case where the trial judge's reasons demonstrate that he or she has failed to grasp an important point or has chosen to disregard it, leading to the conclusion that the verdict was not one which the trier of fact could reasonably have reached."
