Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from G.H. v. B.R., 1996 ABCA 178 (CanLII):
This is yet another case where in Special Chambers the judge gave reasons but none were recorded. See Bettcher v. Bettcher also filed today. We are left with no choice but to make our own decision or inflict upon the parties the costs of yet another hearing. We have chosen to make a fresh assessment.
