What is the test for vexatious claim?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Fyfe v Douglas, 2019 BCSC 761 (CanLII):
Lastly British Columbia contends the claim is vexatious because it establishes no cause of action known to law. It is obvious the claim cannot succeed and no useful purpose would be served by the resulting waste of court time and public resources: see Kent v. Translink, 2016 BCSC 224 at para. 9.
