The following excerpt is from City of Whitehorse v. Cunning, 2009 YKSC 48 (CanLII):

The respondent relied on Maynard v. Maynard, 1950 CanLII 3 (SCC), [1951] S.C.R. 346, to argue that the principle also extends to every point which properly belonged to the subject of the litigation and which the parties, exercising reasonable diligence, might have brought forward at the time.
