Manitoba, Canada


The following excerpt is from Virdi, Sidhu and Bhumber v. Unicity Taxi Ltd. et al., 2005 MBQB 91 (CanLII):

Unicity also points out that Morton v. Asper, [1988] MJ No. 424, stands for the proposition that, where a matter falls within an arbitration clause, the onus falls upon the party resisting a stay to demonstrate why the court ought to exercise its discretion to deny the stay.
