Can a party invoke Rule 9-7 to seek judgment on only part of the case?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Gladney v. Capital Regional District, 2015 BCSC 2585 (CanLII):
Where a party invokes Rule 9-7 for the purpose of seeking judgment on only part of the case, the court must first consider whether there should be severance at all. If the court decides that severance is appropriate, it then must decide whether the issue is suitable for disposition by summary trial: Chun v. Smit, 2011 BCSC 412 at para. 8.
