McCoy v. The Queen, 2003 DTC 660, 2003 TCC 332 -- summary under Evidence

By services, 28 November, 2015

An expert appraiser provided an opinion that the report of another individual, who was not an expert, was appropriate and reasonable. Bowman A.C.J. found (at pp. 674) that:

"I do not think that his testimony concerning the methodology used by emc partners is sufficient to give the emc report the sort of evidentiary weight or value necessary to establish in this court the conclusions expressed in the report. One expert cannot put in another expert's report and make it evidence .... It may well be ... that the methodology used by emc conforms to traditionally accepted standards but if the underlying premises, assumptions and selection of facts cannot be tested the conclusions can be given no weight."
