Civil litigation 2026 BCSC 446

Last v. Reliable Towing Mission Ltd.

Because success on the summary applications and the Rule 10-1 transfer was mixed, and earlier applications had costs fixed in the cause that cannot be varied, the court exercised its discretion to depart from the default that costs follow the event and ordered that each party bear their own costs of the applications before the court.

  • Costs
  • Summary trial (rule 9-7)
  • Rule 10-1 transfer
  • Warehouse lien act
  • Conversion
  • Conspiracy

  • Repudiation
  • Forfeiture of interest
  • Vacant possession
  • Summary trial (rule 9-7)

Contract law 2026 BCSC 293

Belfor (Canada) Inc. v. BC Hardwood Floor Co. Ltd.

On a reading of the Contract as a whole the warranty expressly limited recovery to the defendant's labour and materials necessary to perform warranty work and explicitly excluded all consequential and out‑of‑pocket expenses; therefore the plaintiff cannot recover the consequential expenses and the defendant is not liable in contract; damages could not be determined on the evidence, and severance of liability for summary determination was appropriate but unnecessary given the exclusion clause.

  • Warranty
  • Exclusion clause
  • Consequential damages
  • Contract interpretation
  • Summary trial (rule 9-7)
