What is the test for striking a jury notice in a personal injury action?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Gulamani v. Chandra, 2009 BCSC 1393 (CanLII):

This personal injury action deals with the plaintiff’s claims in relation to two motor vehicle accidents that occurred approximately a decade apart. In recent prior reasons, Gulamani v. Chandra, 2009 BCSC 1042, I allowed her application to strike the jury notice in this matter. Given those reasons, I do not propose to again summarize the extensive background to this case, in which all parties are well-versed.
