What is the test for finality in a personal injury case?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Blok v. Mathew, 2014 BCCA 78 (CanLII):
In Johnson v. Laing 2004 BCCA 642, Madam Justice Southin discussed the importance of finality as follows: 1. It is in the interests of society and of the litigants themselves that all points should be raised before judgment so that when judgment is delivered there is an end in the courts of this Province to the matters in issue. Interest reipublicae ut sit finis litium. While this court may reconsider its own decisions under exceptional circumstances and in the interests of justice, I am not convinced that the circumstances of this case are exceptional.
