When is an adjudicator able to resolve a conflict between two conflicting stories?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Gauder v. British Columbia (Superintendent of Motor Vehicles), 2016 BCSC 142 (CanLII):
When an adjudicator is faced with conflicting stories, the adjudicator can resolve the conflict by providing reasons why he or she accepts one story, or why he or she does not accept the other story, or reasons why the adjudicator prefers one story over the other. It is not unreasonable for the adjudicator to provide reasons only why he or she accepts one story and implicitly prefers it to the other story: Clark v. British Columbia (Superintendent of Motor Vehicles), 2015 BCCA 487 at para. 28.
