What is the test for adding an additional claim in a personal injury action?
Nova Scotia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Rona Inc. v. Rockhard Construction Limited et al., 2020 NSSC 374 (CanLII):
The question of whether an added claim is “related” to the conduct, transaction or events described in the original pleadings has been given a broad interpretation in this province as in other provinces (see, for example, Dyack v. Lincoln, 2017 NSSC 187, at ¶¶ 47-55). The threshold to meet this test is not particularly high.
