What is the test for a statement of claim against a chain contract?
New Brunswick, Canada
The following excerpt is from Caisse Populaire Beauséjour Ltée v Wry, 2012 NBQB 335 (CanLII):
[14] The first requirement is that the new claim be "related to the conduct, transaction or events described in the original pleading". The phrase "related to" has a very broad meaning: Slattery v. Slattery, 1993 CanLII 73 (SCC), [1993] 3 S.C.R. 430, at 445-46. For reasons given above when describing the statement of claim here, and chain contracts, the new claim is plainly "related to the conduct, transaction or events" pleaded in the statement of claim.
