Can an adjudicator resolve credibility disputes if the adjudicator's reasoning process is manifestly flawed?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Sangha v. British Columbia (Superintendent of Motor Vehicles), 2017 BCSC 607 (CanLII):
While an adjudicator can resolve credibility disputes, if the reasoning process is manifestly flawed, the court may interfere with the ultimate conclusion. One example of flawed reasoning is to presume that police evidence has a ‘baseline’ reliability: Scott v. British Columbia (Superintendent of Motor Vehicles), 2013 BCCA 554 at para. 32.
