Can an evidentiary hearing be held in the absence of a hearing?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Correia v. Salvation Army Belkin House and others, 2013 BCHRT 231 (CanLII):

First, I acknowledge that there are some factual issues in dispute between the parties. However, I am not persuaded that this is a case in which I am unable to assess the application in the absence of an evidentiary hearing: Evans v. UBC, 2008 BCSC 1026.
