What is substantial success for parties in international affairs?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from McLaughlan v Nestor, 2018 BCSC 2102 (CanLII):
As was noted in Aschenbrenner v. Yahemech, 2010 BCSC 1541 at para. 17, substantial success is not determined by counting up the number of issues and allocating success on each or by comparing dollar amounts. Substantial success means success on matters globally taking into account the weight of the issues and their importance to the parties.
