What is the standard for obtaining severance orders in personal injury cases?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from O'Neill v. Doe, 2016 BCSC 2056 (CanLII):
The precise standard that governs the exercise of that discretion is not entirely settled. It is clear, however, that severance orders are to be made infrequently, carefully and bearing in mind that multiplicity of proceedings is to be discouraged (Kitsul v. Slater Vecchio LLP, 2015 BCSC 1394 at para. 25).
