La Forest J. found (at p. 6111) that the role that an appellate court should give deference to the findings of fact made by a trial judge "applies not only when the credibility of witnesses is at issue, although in such a case it may be more strictly applied, but also to all conclusions of fact made by the trial judge", but went on to find that the Supreme Court of Canada should not give any deference to factual findings made by the Court of Appeal that differed from those of the trial judge.
