PART I - INTRODUCTION
0. What is law of evidence?
Body of regulations governing proof of existence of fact before a court
Even if 有 legislation enacted both at federal & provincial levels (Federal:
CEAs); but legislation does not provide complete picture; resorting to CL is
needed.
Aimed at control and regulation in effort to fairly promote the search for
truth; Controls the fact-finder, lawyers, and Ws through rules of admissibility
and proof.
Consists of general rules + 多 exceptions to rules.
1. The Forum: Adversarial Adjudication
(0) Adversarial adjudication
System of justice premised on each party w/ obligation to present
evidence and argument to support position; but 有 special fairness
obligations for Crown. Hallmark of CA system: Judge (neutral), remains
relatively passive during trial.
System depends on production of evidence by parties to guarantee its
sufficiency and trustworthiness [VHM]; Not for judges to go looking for
evidence; irrelevant 有 other relevant materials out there & not
adduced [UK: Shortland v Hill & Anor].
(a) Not a Scientific Inquiry
Trial: not a scientific inquiry conducted by TJ as research director; rather
forum for providing justice to parties; centrality of the adversary system
is not confined to trials, inherently part of administrative hearings as
well [Hurd v Hewitt]
(b) Truth and Justice: Competing Goals?
Imperial Oil v. Jacques on balancing court's truth-seeking function v.
justice
