What is the test for admissible evidence in a motor vehicle accident case?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Streeter v. British Columbia (Superintendent of Motor Vehicles), 2009 BCSC 1410 (CanLII):
Having found such finding to be unreasonable, it is not necessary for me to consider the petitioners alternate ground that such information, if not from the defective document, could only be un-sourced hearsay and thus not admissible. Such a result, I note, was found by Garcon J., as she then was, in Joyce v. The Superintendant of Motor Vehicles, 2007 BCSC 1352.
