What is the standard for the conduct of defendants in a personal injury case?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Fong v. Lew, 2015 BCSC 436 (CanLII):
In my opinion, the evidence shows that the defendants did not engage in what would be preferred practice by a first-rate lawyer: see Girardet v. Crease, at p. 371. However, that is not the standard to be applied in relation to these claims. The standard is that of a reasonably competent solicitor.
