What is the test for respect and respect for the jury's verdict in a personal injury case?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Calvin Forest Products v. Tembec Inc., 2006 CanLII 12291 (ON CA):
At the outset, it is helpful to reiterate that an appellate court must give great deference to a jury’s verdict. This proposition has been stated in many different ways, but none is clearer than the statement of de Grandpré J. in Olmstead v. Vancouver-Fraser Park District, 1974 CanLII 196 (SCC), [1975] 2 S.C.R. 831 at 839: All of the relevant cases make it abundantly clear that jury verdicts must be treated with considerable respect and must be accorded great weight.
