Does the trial judge err in her assessment of damages?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Calin v. Calin, 2021 ONCA 558 (CanLII):
The trial judge weighed the evidence of both experts, in view of all the other evidence before her, and preferred the evidence of the appellant’s expert. She declined to infer causation and concluded that the respondents had not proved that their psychiatric disorders were caused by the appellant’s actions. The trial judge’s weighing of the expert evidence attracts appellate deference: see Hacopian-Armen Estate v. Mahmoud, 2021 ONCA 545, at paras. 66-68. I see no basis for this court to intervene.
