Rigg v MCI 2010 FC 341 PRRA overturned due to selective review of evidence

April 2, 2010 by lorne

Jurisprudence Brief: 
The Court set aside a PRRA noting: [13] While an officer is entitled to weigh the evidence and need not cite all of it in the reasons for decision, he or she cannot base a decision on a selective review of the evidence. Where there is credible evidence supporting the opposite of the officer’s conclusion, he or she must refer to it and explain why it can be discounted (Cepeda-Gutierrez v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration), [1998] F.C.J. No. 1425).
