What are the reasons of a trial judge in a sexual assault case?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from Davidson v 1773907 Alberta Ltd., 2017 ABCA 267 (CanLII):
An unsuccessful party may well be dissatisfied with the reasons of a trial judge, especially where he or she was not believed. Where findings of credibility must be made, it must be recognized that it may be very difficult for the trial judge to put into words the process by which the decision is arrived at (see R v. Gagnon). But that does not make the reasons inadequate.
