On what basis can new evidence be admitted at a hearing?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v Mountain, 2018 BCSC 1264 (CanLII):
On this third basis for intervention, the four criteria for the admission of fresh evidence, as established in Palmer v. The Queen, 1979 CanLII 8 (SCC), [1980] 1 S.C.R. 759 are to be applied. However, they must be applied flexibly and a generous and liberal interpretation of the meaning of new evidence should be adopted by the reviewing judge.
