I will just say briefly that one of the cases that the Father referred to was the decision of Mr. Justice Hood in Pulkingham v. Kruk, 2002 BCSC 1262. There are other cases of which I am aware that consider the admission of recordings into evidence. I think I will just summarize them as saying that the court is concerned not to promote hostility and to make sure that recordings are put in context. Putting it in context can be dealt with by the parties giving evidence about what was going on at the time and by the court hearing the audio recording itself. The use of recordings in the future has been dealt with by the Master McDiarmid’s Order of December 3, 2013.
