What is the test for determining jurisdiction simpliciter?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Robson v. Chrysler Canada Oshanek v. General Motors, 2001 BCSC 40 (CanLII):
Ordinarily, the determination of jurisdiction simpliciter is an “intellectual exercise” based on the pleadings. However, in tenuous cases the court may also consider affidavit evidence: Furlan v. Shell Oil Co., supra, at para. 16. Here, representatives of each of the American defendants have filed affidavits and the parties are in agreement that I may consider these in addition to the facts alleged in the Statements of Claim.
