What is it like to be a grievor who may have no experience of legal proceedings giving testimony?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from Civic Service Union 52 v Edmonton (City), 2011 CanLII 81600 (AB GAA):
Having said this, it is not unusual for a grievor, who may have no experience with legal proceedings and whose job is one the line, to display some nervousness while giving testimony. The warnings in Faryna v. Chorney and other cases about relying too much upon demeanour are apt, and so we turn to our main task, evaluating the witnesses’ testimony for consistency and concordance with probability.
