The following excerpt is from Barrie v. Norgaard Neale Camden Ltd., 2014 BCSC 722 (CanLII):
Smith J.A. also referred to Brown v. Douglas, 2011 BCCA 521 at paras. 29 and 30, where the court said that counsel faced with an application for summary trial “runs a risk” the court may agree the case is appropriate for summary trial and give judgment rather than refer the matter to a full trial.
