Key legal question
Whether the lower court arbitrarily assessed the evidence and violated in dubio pro reo
Extracted holding
No. The appellate court could rely on the landlord's detailed and consistent statements and reject the defendant's version without arbitrariness.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Court held that mere disagreement with the factual assessment is insufficient. The defendant failed to show that the lower court's credibility assessment was manifestly untenable or that serious, unavoidable doubts remained.
