British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. J.F.D., 2017 BCCA 162 (CanLII):
The judge recognised that the central issue for determination was credibility. After summarising the evidence, she outlined the law on credibility assessment, quoting the well-known principles described in Gichuru v. Smith, 2013 BCSC 895, aff’d 2014 BCCA 414, and Bradshaw v. Stenner, 2010 BCSC 1398, aff’d 2012 BCCA 296. Then she turned to application of the law to the evidence at trial.
