history
  • Judgment against the Workers' Compensation Board by the Court of Appeal for British Columbia (en)
ratio
  • #An injunction to prevent a party from filing a claim in a different court should only be done when a serious injustice will occur if the other court fails to decline jurisdiction, and should not be done if there is pending proceeding in another court. #The test for declining jurisdiction is whether there is another forum more convenient and appropriate for pursuit of the action and securing the ends of justice.
