What is the test for determining whether there is sufficient evidence at a preliminary hearing?
Manitoba, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Kisfalvi/Pop, 2014 MBPC 45 (CanLII):
The test for determining whether there is sufficient evidence comes from the case of United States of America v. Sheppard, 1976 CanLII 8 (SCC), [1977] 2 S.C.R. 1067 and directs that a committal to stand trial is to occur where there is any admissible evidence could, if believed, result in a conviction. This test imposes a minimal standard that is consistent with the screening purpose of a preliminary hearing.
