The following excerpt is from Angrish v. Surrey (City), 2017 BCSC 374 (CanLII):
The plaintiffs also argue that liability does not need to be admitted in all of the joined actions; rather that it is sufficient that some of the defendants in some of the actions admit liability, suggesting the defendants can “sort it out amongst themselves” if liability is not found in relation to the contested collisions. In that regard the plaintiffs cite Kailay v. ICBC, 2011 BCSC 263, for the proposition that liability does not have to be absolutely established to grant the order sought.
