What is the credibility of the Husband's and Wife's evidence in a personal injury trial?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Bath v. Bath, 2010 ONSC 1630 (CanLII):
The Husband’s and Wife’s evidence diverged on many issues. My assessment of their credibility is difficult because they both gave evidence with the aid of an interpreter. Furthermore, counsel for the Wife failed to put most of her client’s evidence to the Husband during her cross-examination in a flagrant disregard of the rule in Browne v. Dunn.[1]
