Taggart J.A. stated in Penticton v. LeBlanc 1981 CanLII 431 (BC CA), [1981] 5 W.W.R. 289 (B.C.C.A.): ...it is for the jury to find the facts, while it is for the trial judge to rule on questions of law. That being so, it seems to me that a trial judge may refuse to accept the verdict of a jury only where he concludes that there is no evidence to support the findings of the jury or where the jury gives an answer to a question which cannot, in law, provide a foundation for judgement.
