Is an assessor’s evidence not determinative of the issues before the court?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Children’s Aid Society of Oxford County v. C.V., 2018 ONCJ 389 (CanLII):
[56] The court in Woodhouse v. Woodhouse, 1996 CanLII 902 (O.C.A.), confirmed that an assessor’s evidence was not determinative of the issues before the court, but was merely one piece of the evidence for the court’s consideration. In other words, it is up to the court, not the assessor, to determine the facts.
