Is there any case law where a plaintiff's version of events makes no sense?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Vo v. Michl, 2012 BCSC 1417 (CanLII):

The court was also referred to Bathgate v. Korolek, 2010 BCSC 37. In that case the court found the plaintiff’s version of events “makes no sense”, that her vehicle was not hit from behind, but rather the plaintiff turned her vehicle into the defendants vehicle.
