The following excerpt is from Xie v Lai, 2022 BCSC 495 (CanLII):
The procedural issues which had impacted this litigation from the outset continued to arise as the trial commenced. The three remaining defendants did not appear at the commencement of trial on October 12, 2021. On the second day of the trial however, the defendants appeared and sought an adjournment. I initially granted a short adjournment of the trial until October 25, 2021. The reasons for that adjournment and much of the background in this matter is set out in Xie v. Lai, 2021 BCSC 2038.
