The following excerpt is from Stephenson v. McLean, 1977 CanLII 598 (AB QB):
In the Ryan v. Whitton case, supra, a case where the plaintiff was suing an executor of the will of the deceased for damage sustained by him in a motor vehicle action as a result of the negligence of the deceased, there was corroborative evidence of the plaintiff’s evidence on some of the material issues raised by the pleadings but no corroboration of the central issue that the damages were sustained as a result of the negligent action or omission on the part of the deceased.
