What is the test for admissibility of evidence in the context of evidence that is not logically tending to prove a point?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Pfizer Canada Inc. v. Teva Canada Limited, 2016 FCA 161 (CanLII):
Now to the task of determining admissibility. The starting point is that evidence logically tending to prove a point is admissible: The Queen v. Wray, 1970 CanLII 2 (SCC), [1971] S.C.R. 272 at p. 297, 11 D.L.R. (3d) 673. If evidence does not logically tend to prove a point, it is irrelevant and inadmissible at the outset.
