What is the effect of relying exclusively on the testimony of a construction worker in a construction context?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from A1702752 (Re), 2018 CanLII 135330 (BC WCAT):
For these reasons, I find I must use caution in relying exclusively on the worker’s testimony. I note also that I may accept all, some, or none of the evidence of a witness and that truthfulness and reliability are not necessarily the same. An honest witness can be mistaken (Xu v. Hu, 2015 BCSC 1400, at paragraph 26).
