Does the Court of Appeal have any authority or authority to hold an oral hearing?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from T Shepherd Trucking Ltd v. Janco, 2020 BCCRT 861 (CanLII):
7. Most of the argument in this dispute amounts to a “he said, he said” scenario, with each party calling into question the credibility of the other. In Yas v. Pope, 2018 BCSC 282, the court recognized that oral hearings are not necessarily required in all cases where credibility is in issue. I have considered the CRT’s mandate of proportionality and a speedy resolution of disputes. I am satisfied that I can assess and weigh the evidence and submissions before me without holding an oral hearing.
