How have the courts dealt with the applicant's failure to submit any single piece of evidence that could support their claim?

The respondent’s principal argument is that the panel was able to consider the applicants’ failure to submit even a single piece of evidence that could support their claims. Furthermore, the respondent maintains that Adjei v. Canada (Minister of Employment and Immigration), supra, actually states that the standard of proof applicable to the facts underlying a claim is that of a balance of probabilities. Viewed in this light, the respondent argues that the applicants did not discharge this burden. The respondent maintains that, owing to the Minister’s non‑intervention, the panel did not have to further question the applicant about his military career. ISSUE
