What are the powers of the Registrar of Justice?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Laird et al. V. Hughes et al., 2004 BCSC 39 (CanLII):
The issue of the powers of the Registrar was canvassed in Larson v. Larson, [1993] B.C.J. No. 661 (S.C.). Huddart J. (as she then was) noted that in practice litigants face significant difficulties in varying the recommendations of the Registrar if the recommendations are within the confines of the enquiry, reasonable and not in error. A registrar can make findings of credibility. However, the report is evidence only and does not bind the court. (p. 18)
