British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Bandpey v Talebpourazad, 2021 BCSC 763 (CanLII):
It is useful to set out the principles governing credibility determinations. In assessing the truthfulness of the testimony of any witness, I am guided by the test set out in Faryna v. Chorny, 1951 CanLII 252 (BC CA), [1952] 2 D.L.R. 354 at 357 (B.C.C.A.): … In short, the real test of the truth of the story of a witness in such a case must be its harmony with the preponderance of the probabilities which a practical and informed person would readily recognize as reasonable in that place and in those conditions.
