What are the reasons for denial of procedural guarantees?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Collins v. Collins, 1999 CanLII 3628 (BC SC):
I have reviewed the transcript and I am satisfied that the appellant was not prejudiced by the denial of any procedural guarantees. The matters raised by the appellant are in the discretion of the trial judge. The record shows that the trial judge heard the evidence of all of the appellant's witnesses. The appellant made submissions during his evidence and neither party was invited to make submissions at the conclusion of the evidence. The trial judge's reasons show that he considered all of the evidence. The weight that he placed on the evidence is fully within his province (see Woelk v. Halvorson, 1980 CanLII 17 (SCC), [1980] 2 S.C.R. 430). VI. SUMMARY
