Civil procedure 2026 BCCA 185

Jiang v. Peoples Trust Company

The orders for subpoenas and letters of request derive their procedural authority from Part 7 of the Supreme Court Civil Rules (Rule 7-8 and Rule 7-1) rather than constituting independent authority under the Subpoena (Interprovincial) Act or the court's inherent jurisdiction; accordingly the orders are limited appeal orders requiring leave, and leave to appeal is denied because the proposed appeal lacks sufficient significance and merit and would unduly hinder the progress of the underlying proceeding.

  • Leave to appeal
  • Limited appeal orders
  • Rule 7-8 depositions
  • Subpoenas
  • Letters of request / letters rogatory
  • Jurisdiction to compel non-party documents
