British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Kovac v. Moscone, 2012 BCSC 845 (CanLII):

In McIlvenna v. Viebig, 2012 BCSC 218, Mr. Justice Sigurdson considered a similar submission involving the plaintiff’s failure to call her father with respect to vehicle positioning after the accident in which she was involved; a matter said to be germane to the issue of liability given the plaintiff’s limited recollection of the circumstances of the accident.
