Summary:
A skier successfully sued another skier for skiing out of control. The skier's action against a ski instructor was dismissed. The skier appealed to the British Columbia Court of Appeal.
The British Columbia Court of Appeal allowed the skier's appeal respecting liability of the ski instructor who was found liable. The ski instructor appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada.
The Supreme Court of Canada allowed the appeal on the ground that the British Columbia Court of Appeal should not have interfered with the trial judgment where the only point at issue was the interpretation of the evidence as a whole.
Practice - Topic 8808
