Administrative tribunals have one objective – to ensure a fair and efficient hearing.
However, for even the most senior adjudicator, evidentiary issues can be daunting to manage and if mishandled, lead to procedural challenges. While the cardinal rule is: if relevant, hear it, there are additional questions that must be considered and weighed.
This advanced level program will provide a hands-on, deep dive into the key principles underlying the rules of evidence and the thought processes that could affect your decision-making on evidentiary issues.
What You’ll Learn
Applying evidentiary principles by tribunals
Understanding common yet complex evidentiary challenges: hearsay, privilege, documents
Managing evidentiary objections effectively
Dealing with special problems created by electronic evidence
Managing expert evidence
Making credibility findings
Evaluating observation, recollection and truth-telling, and the value of oral evidence
Who Should Attend
Graduates of the SOAR/OsgoodePD Certificate in Adjudication
Those with two or more years of full-time experience as an adjudicator, OR an equivalent amount of experience as a part-time adjudicator
Senior tribunal staff, such as counsel, who work closely with adjudicators and would benefit from advanced training in adjudication
