The following excerpt is from Catholic Children’s Aid Society of Metropolitan Toronto v. M.M., 1981 CanLII 1975 (ON CJ):
[27] Any increase in their value or weight under the Ares v. Venner doctrine would depend on a cautious search for circumstances that would tend to guarantee the trustworthiness of the hearsay and for circumstances that would suggest a practical necessity for a departure from the accepted standards of fairness that allow an opposing party to challenge and test allegations, perceptions and opinions by way of cross-examination.
