When will the BCSC consider whether to hear the separate petitions of the same parties?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from The Owners, Strata Plan NW 2575 v Booth, 2018 BCSC 715 (CanLII):
Given the substantive and procedural commonalities raised in the two petitions; the fact that the same parties are involved; the risk of inconsistent findings on identical issues arising out of the same factual matrix; and the time saving that will be achieved through a joint proceeding, hearing the petitions together within the circumstances of this case makes sense. See Hui v. Hoa, 2012 BCSC 1045 at paras. 33–35.
