Civil litigation 2026 BCCA 211

Yin v. Zhang Estate

Extension of time was granted because appellants demonstrated a continued bona fide intention to appeal, respondents would not be unduly prejudiced by the delay, and it was in the interests of justice to decide the appeal on its merits; security for costs was ordered because appellants are in precarious financial circumstances, there is a real risk of non-recovery, the appeal's merits are weak, and the balance of prejudice favours requiring security for both the appeal and the Supreme Court proceedings.

  • Extension of time to file appeal record and factum
  • Security for costs of appeal and trial
  • Substitutional service and adding non-parties
  • Stay of enforcement
  • Remedial constructive trust
