Is there any case law where evidence on one issue is presented at the same time as that on another?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Ormerod v. Strathroy Middlesex General Hospital, 2013 ONSC 1196 (CanLII):
Urquhart v. Allen Estate, [1999] O.J. No. 4816 (S.C.J.), addressed a proposal that evidence on one issue be presented at a different time than evidence on another. In rejecting that suggestion Gillese J. (as she then was) wrote: 26. The testimony of the plaintiff is a whole. Her evidence cannot be severed with some portions of it going in on the main trial and some segments of it being entered later after the evidence of her other witnesses. Her credibility is a function of her whole testimony.
