Summary:
Case law has consistently stated that unless there are particular circumstances that are obvious, the issue of credibility must be left to the discretion of the Board of Referees, which is better able to make a decision on it. The Umpire will intervene only if the Board's decision on the matter is unreasonable given evidence based on facts that were submitted to them to make its decision.
