What is the effect of the adjudicator's decision not to admit or deny the evidence?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from British Columbia (Ministry of Justice) v. Maddock, 2015 BCSC 746 (CanLII):
In this regard, this adjudicator was doing just what Mr. Justice Goepel said that she was entitled to do in B.C. Lottery Corporation v. Skelton, 2013 BCSC 12, that is, even if the Commissioner decided the specific evidence did not meet the Mohan criteria, "given the relaxed rules of evidence in administrative proceedings, she could at her discretion admit it in any event" (para. 64).
