Is it in the public interest to have two separate civil proceedings at the same time?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from O'Brennan v. K.L.M. Industries, 2005 BCHRT 95 (CanLII):
Finally, as noted by the Tribunal in Viella v. Vancouver (City), 2005 BCHRT 6, at para. 23, it is not the public interest to have duplicate proceedings. In the circumstances of this case, I am not persuaded that it would be an efficient use of public resources, or the time and resources of the parties, to have parallel proceedings.
