British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Wilton v. Sandher and another, 2011 BCHRT 349 (CanLII):

As set out in Bell v. Dr. Sherk and others, 2003 BCHRT 63, the parties are responsible for putting forward the information they believe necessary to support their position, and in the form they consider appropriate (para. 25). At the same time, more than the mere assertion that the other party’s version of events is untrue is required (para. 27).
