Civil procedure 2026 BCSC 443

Humphrey v. B.L. Resort Ltd.

The ANOCC is overly verbose and improperly pleads evidence, rendering it embarrassing or scandalous under R.9-5(1)(b) and (c); however, because the attribution principle articulated in Scott v. Golden Oaks introduces context‑dependent discretion as to imputing a directing mind's knowledge to a corporation, it is not plain and obvious that H6's claims are statute‑barred and therefore those claims cannot be dismissed under R.9-5(1)(a); the appropriate remedy is to stay the action and require the plaintiffs (Mr. Humphrey and H6) to file a further amended notice of civil claim that complies with…

  • Pleadings content r.3-1 and r.3-7
  • Innuendo in defamation r.3-7(21)(a)

Family law 2026 MBCA 22

Polowy v Kelly

The Court of Appeal concluded the motion judge misapprehended the record and erred in law in applying promissory estoppel (failed to require intent to affect legal relations and misapplied facts); set aside the motion judge’s promissory estoppel finding; directed that whether the FPA limitation bars the petitioner’s claim (including related questions of agreement and statutory extension) be determined at trial; held the appeal is not moot because the reference proceeded subject to the outcome of this appeal.

  • Limitation period
  • Summary judgment

  • Pension division

Trusts 2026 BCSC 378

Holman v. Holman

Court found no enforceable pre‑existing agreement that Alexander's 2017 allocation would be satisfied by Cherry Street proceeds; despite informal profit sharing, the Trust allocated at least $628,767.50 to Alexander in August 2017 which remained unpaid; Limitation Act discovery occurred in August 2022/February 2023 so claim filed November 2023 was timely; tax paid on Alexander's behalf does not reduce the claimed allocation as pleaded; punitive damages and tracing were not justified; judgment entered for plaintiff for $628,767.50 against trustee/defendant Lyle Holman.

  • Allocation of trust proceeds
  • Breach of trust / fiduciary duty
  • Limitations discovery rule (limitation act)
  • Family agreements and contract proof
  • Punitive damages

Fraudulent conveyance 2026 BCSC 244

Meng v. Fan

No trust was proven to show the son was the beneficial owner from 2013; the May 2021 transfer occurred when multiple claims against the transferor were pending, conveyed the transferor's sole significant real asset for nominal consideration to a close family member, giving rise to badges of fraud and a presumption of intent which the defendants failed to rebut; the claim was timely because judgment in the underlying action was obtained on February 12, 2024 and this action was commenced within the limitation period, therefore the transfer is void as against creditors.

  • Fraudulent conveyance under fca
  • Badges of fraud
  • Transfer of beneficial interest
  • Discoverability and limitation periods
  • Familial transfers and nominal consideration

Tort 2026 NSSC 28

Lohnes v. Kohltech International Limited

On the undisputed facts the plaintiff knew or ought reasonably to have known by October 2017 that the consequential losses were sufficiently serious to warrant legal proceedings; Kohltech's warranty repairs and assurances did not extend to the consequential damages nor tolled the limitation period, and there was no statutory acknowledgement or waiver restarting the period; accordingly negligence claims for acts or omissions prior to June 2, 2020 are time-barred and must be dismissed.
