Evidence - Public Documents

. Valero Energy Inc. v. Minister of the Environment

In Valero Energy Inc. v. Minister of the Environment (Div Ct, 2026) the Divisional Court dismissed a motion, here seeking "an order compelling the respondents to produce a record of proceedings or record of decision in this application for judicial review. The respondents have produced a record, which Valero submits is insufficient.".

Here the court cites the (apparent) Evidence Act authority for putting public documents before it as a JR record:
[15] The entire public record is included in the respondents’ record for this application for judicial review (about two hundred pages of material). These materials are properly put before the Court under s. 25 of the Ontario Evidence Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. E.23.
