Is it fatal to a decision that specific mention is not made of certain evidence?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Devgan v. College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario, 2005 CanLII 2325 (ON SCDC):
In Trotter v. College of Nurses of Ontario, [1991] O.J. No. 348, Craig J. stated: It has been held that the reasons of a tribunal which is made up of persons who were not legally trained, ought not to be the subject of “painstaking scrutiny”. It is not fatal to a decision that specific mention is not made of certain evidence; nor is it fatal if specific reasons are not given before its rejection.
