What is the test for determining whether a plaintiff has a real and substantial connection with the Respondent?

Nova Scotia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Brushett v Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada, 2017 NSLB 154 (CanLII):

Both the Complainant and the Respondent submit that the decision in Dagenais v. Nakisa Inc., [2005] O.J. No. 4219, and the “real and substantial connection” test described in that case should be applied in this complaint. As discussed below, I respectfully disagree.
