In assessing the evidentiary record, does the court have to consider a very low threshold and limits of the record?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Dyck v. Tahoe Resources Inc., 2021 ONSC 5712 (CanLII):

Consequently, in assessing the evidentiary record, the court should not engage in a finely calibrated weighing process, and it should keep in mind the relatively low threshold and limits of the record: Kauf v. Colt Resources, Inc., 2019 ONSC 2179, 145 O.R. (3d) 100, at para. 69.
