What is appropriate for a jury to try?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from van Driesum v. Young, 2016 BCSC 2279 (CanLII):

What is appropriate for a jury to try has to do not only with the jury's capacity to understand the evidence as it is presented and rebutted, but also to retain over several weeks what they have heard and then analyse it in the context of the questions they are required to answer. (See Wipfli v. Britten, [1981] B.C.J. No. 1706 (F.C.) at paras. 30 and 31.)
